Psidium guajava fruit extract is an antioxidant and astringent extract derived from guava fruit, an edible fruit native to South America.
The guava fruit is a natural source of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, vitamin C, folates, and beta carotenes, with proven health benefits.
The Psidium guajava fruit extract has mainly astringent properties, giving the skin a tightened sensation and helping with the healing of small cuts and wounds. The phenolic compounds have antioxidant properties.
The extract has also been tested as an ingredient in sunscreens, where it was able to enhance the overall SPF factor (despite having only a tiny SPF factor of its own).
