Guava Fruit

Why we use it

Guava fruit extract when applied on skin, loosens the dead skin cells, and breaks the bonds between the dead skin cells and the base layer, thus helping to peel it from skin. When the dead skin layer is removed from skin, the skin becomes brighter, clear and free from any blemishes. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, it aids in neutralizing free radicals, thus preventing premature aging and promoting skin elasticity. The high levels of vitamins A, B, and potassium help in hydrating the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin texture.
