Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Apple-based waters have been used in traditional European folk medicine and beauty preparations for centuries. The distilled or expressed fruit water became more formalized in cosmetics during the 20th century.
