Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract

Phyllanthus emblica fruit extract is an extract obtained from the fruits of the Indian gooseberry, also called Amla (Phyllanthus emblica).

These fruits are eaten raw, pickled, or cooked, and are a common remedy in Ayurvedic traditional medicine. They are used in skincare for their astringent properties. The fruits are very sour and mouth-puckering due to their high content of acids, vitamin C, and tannins, which result in a tightening sensation on the skin. The sugars from the berry juice also provide some humectant moisturizing benefits.
