Quince seed mucilage cools and calms the skin
Cydonia extract 2.5 % NP (Pyrus Cydonia Seed Extract)
Despite its exotic home countries, the Cydonian pome – one of the ancient names of the quince – is one of the most popular kinds of fruit in German-speaking countries where most people probably consume it in the form of jam. But the fruit from the Rosacea family has much more to offer than a good taste: it can pamper the skin, mainly with the about 20% mucilage contained in its seeds.
Quince extract – a relief for stressed skin
Thanks to its cooling and calming properties, quince extract is a popular ingredient of ointments, creams, gels or facial masks used for stressed or chapped skin. The agent is film-forming, hydrating, anti-inflammatory and is used in a pH range from 3 to 12, for example in lip balm used for chapped lips, in after-sun products or to heal sore nipples of breast-feeding mothers.
