Malpighia Glabra (Acerola) Fruit Extract is derived from the acerola cherry, one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, and is used in topical formulations for its antioxidant and brightening properties. It helps neutralize free radicals and may support collagen synthesis and a more even skin tone.
