All About Malic Acid Rich Apples

Thinking of the holiday season, apple harvests and apple pie? Well, even if you aren’t in Winter mode, it is the season to contemplate an effective exfoliation regimen.

Why exfoliate? To achieve healthy, glowing skin.

This time of year is a great time to give nature a boost. If you are in your twenties, your skin cells are naturally turning over monthly, but if you are past 30, well let’s just say you might need a bit of help moving this process along, particularly after a fun-filled summer of beach trips, saltwater and chlorine.

There are several apple trees at Juice Beauty’s Sonoma Farm; however, we will continue to source our apples from our amazing Pacific Northwest organic farmer, featured in the video below.

One of the questions our founder Karen is most often asked is, why did Juice Beauty choose to use malic acid from Green Apples as one of our main ingredients? The short answer is because of the fabulous age defying benefits.

Malic acid is naturally generated as apples metabolize. An American Journal of Dermatology study cites apples as a particularly rich source of alpha hydroxy acids, vitamins, polyphenols and flavonoids which help with the rejuvenation of aging skin.

Juice Beauty obtains our malic acid from organic green apples and apple juice which provides for a very high antioxidant, phytonutrient, polyphenol, and bioflavonoid content. This alpha hydroxy acid is a powerful, yet hydrating exfoliator for the skin. By using a product high in malic acid and antioxidants such as Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peels, you’ll effectively, yet safely boost skin exfoliation and help fight free radical damage that occurs from aging, pollution, sun damage, stress and well…..life.

As we say around our headquarters…Goodbye wrinkles!
