Plum Extract
Plum extract is a gentle, fruit-derived ingredient packed with antioxidants and natural sugars that help hydrate and brighten the skin. Popular in UK skincare and haircare, it lends a juicy, nourishing feel to serums, creams and masks while smelling faintly of fresh plums.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics plum extract functions as a humectant and antioxidant, drawing moisture into the upper layers of the skin while helping to shield it from environmental stressors. Its natural fruit sugars and polyphenols deliver a soft, plumping effect and support a healthy-looking glow, making it a lovely addition to moisturisers, sheet masks and hair conditioners.
