How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare, peach extract and peach kernel oil function as emollients and humectants, helping to soften the skin while attracting and holding moisture. The fruit extract is often used for its mild astringent qualities and natural fragrance, while the cold-pressed oil from the kernel delivers lightweight fatty acids and vitamin E that support the skin’s barrier without greasiness. It is a popular choice in UK formulations for its ability to impart a smooth, velvety after-feel and subtle natural scent.

Where it comes from

Peach (Prunus persica) is the fruit of a deciduous tree originally native to China but now cultivated widely across Europe, including the United Kingdom. In cosmetics the ingredient is typically derived from the juicy flesh of the ripe fruit or from the cold-pressed oil of the inner kernel (stone).
