PYRUS MALUS ROOT BARK POWDER.

Valuable CAS 85251-63-4 / BLEACHING

Derived from the root bark of the apple tree, Pyrus Malus Root Bark Powder offers a suite of benefits for skin health. Its natural tannins impart astringent and skin-toning effects, while a rich profile of flavonoids and polyphenols delivers antioxidant protection. With its fine, slightly abrasive texture, it also acts as a gentle physical exfoliant, and further supports depigmentation and overall skin vitality through its influence on melanin production and essential nutrient content.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical powder operates through several distinct pathways to improve skin appearance. Tannins within the root bark provide direct astringent action, visibly tightening and refining skin texture. Flavonoids, including quercetin and kaempferol, along with other polyphenols, act as potent antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and protecting cellular integrity. Furthermore, it modulates melanin production, functioning as a depigmenting agent to promote a more even skin tone. Its inherent fine particulate nature provides a physical exfoliation, aiding in the removal of surface dead skin cells, while essential vitamins and minerals contribute to overall dermal nourishment and health.
