Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract is derived from apple fruit and is used in skincare for its antioxidant, humectant, and mild conditioning properties, often providing polyphenols, sugars, and natural acids. It is generally considered a gentle, supportive ingredient rather than a primary clinical active.
