Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

No Known Risks

An apple fruit extract used mainly for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Pyrus malus fruit extract and the other supported apple-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices of use and concentration. The conclusion does not extend to several separately identified root, stem, callus or oil ingredients for which evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical use of the fruit extract.

How to use this assessment

The risk band is the primary conclusion. The score adds detail within that band and should not be used to compare products as if a one-point difference were clinically meaningful.

MamaSkin provides pregnancy-focused information, not medical advice. Your midwife, GP, pharmacist or dermatologist should take priority when your circumstances differ from typical cosmetic use.
