Concern level
High concern
Botanical seed extract from acerola (Malpighia emarginata). In cosmetics it is mainly used as a plant-derived antioxidant and supporting skin-conditioning ingredient. Because it is an extract rather than a purified compound, composition varies by solvent and supplier, so exact physicochemical values are generally not standardized.
