BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A toning plant extract. Safe.
Apple leaf extract (INCI Pyrus Malus Leaf Extract) is obtained from apple tree leaves and brings flavonoids and polyphenols with mild antioxidant action. In a formula it acts as a supporting botanical and freshens the blend. On efficacy it pays to be realistic. The evidence for this extract is modest, and it works as a supporting component, not a lead active that changes skin on its own. It adds nuance to a well-built formula. During pregnancy and breastfeeding it is fine to use. Topically it has no systemic relevance. Tolerance is good: low irritation and low allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. As with any plant extract, an individual reaction is possible in already sensitized people, though most do not react.
