Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract is derived from peach fruit and used in skincare primarily as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent, providing vitamins, sugars, and polyphenols that may soothe and hydrate the skin. It is most often included for its emollient and mild soothing properties rather than as a potent treatment active.
