Provital has introduced Pomarage, a polyphenol-rich ingredient made from upcycled apple pomace.
The well-ageing ingredient exhibited a beneficial effect on both normal and aged human dermal fibroblasts in two in vitro studies, which was backed up by improvements in the skin’s extracellular matrix and the re-densification of the dermis, said Provital.
The active’s raw material, apple pomace, was sourced from Mooma, a supplier local to the company, and is a side-product from the processing of apples.
Additionally, Pomerage is COSMOS approved, 100% natural origin (ISO16128) and vegan compliant.
