Strawberries are not only healthy and delicious to eat, but also work to maintain a healthy-looking, radiant complexion when used topically in skincare. Wondering how this little red berry can have a big impact on your skin’s health and appearance? Read on to discover how strawberry extract benefits the skin and how to incorporate it into your skincare routine.

What is strawberry extract?

Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract—also referred to as strawberry extract—is a concentrated form of the ingredient found in wild strawberries. These miniature scarlet-colored strawberries grow wild throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and are known for their toning and astringent properties. Hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, the berries then undergo an extraction process to capture the benefits of the natural ingredient for effective use in skincare.

What skin type is strawberry extract best for?

Strawberry extract is suitable for all skin types—including sensitive skin!

With potent antioxidant compounds, strawberry extract improves hydration and elasticity when applied to skin. Strawberry extract is also rich in polyphenols, which protect the skin from environmental stressors.

We recommend cleansing the skin beforehand with Soy Face Cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities to leave skin feeling purified, polished, and refreshed.
