Peach

Peach

Peach is a rose-family drupe rich in carotenoids and aroma lactones, used for skin hydration and gut fibre.

Primary

Maintain hydrated, glowing skin

Yellow-flesh peach carotenoids and polyphenols enter the skin antioxidant pool; aroma comes from lactones. People who dry and flake at season change more often notice skin softness after several continuous weeks. Lactone aroma accompanies carotenoids; dryness and flaking is the watch-point.

Supporting

Promote gut regularity with pectin

Soluble fibre raises stool water. People with firmer stools more often notice bowel comfort after one continuous week. Pectin takes water gently; firmer stools can be compared after one continuous week. This peach path is easier to match with everyday sensations after several continuous days to weeks.
