Cherry
Cherry is a popular natural extract used in UK skincare and beauty products for its brightening, antioxidant-rich properties. Derived from the fruit of the cherry tree, it delivers a fresh, fruity scent and gentle nourishment that leaves skin feeling soft and revitalised. It is commonly found in moisturisers, serums, lip balms and face masks.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, cherry extract functions as a natural antioxidant thanks to its high content of polyphenols and vitamin C. It helps to neutralise free radicals while providing mild astringent and brightening effects that support a more even skin tone and healthy-looking glow. The oil pressed from cherry kernels is rich in essential fatty acids and feels lightweight on the skin, making it an excellent emollient that softens and conditions without greasiness.
