FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PUREES

Vege Tech Fruit and Vegetable Purees differ from our Botanical Extract lines by the fact that they are not specifically fluid extracts. They are actual purees and therefore contain a wide range of constituents normally associated with the whole fruit or vegetable. This means that a specialty puree product could potentially contain the flesh, skin, juices and seeds. The associated sugars, fruit acids, pectins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals remain intact, as they would in their fresh whole state. The purees are processed to be readily incorporated into a wide range of personal care formulations.

The features and benefits of Vege Tech Fruit and Vegetable Purees are as bountiful and limitless as the whole fruits and vegetables themselves. For instance, it is common knowledge that most apples contain naturally high levels of fruit pectins which are known to add humectant and moisturizing properties to the skin. Citrus fruits contain high levels of fruit acids which work great with alpha and beta hydroxy acid skin treatments, exfoliants and cleansers. Avocados are rich in natural lipids which are effective skin moisturizers. The fruit acids and seeds found in strawberries and kiwis are natural exfoliators used largely in facial, body and foot scrubs. Tomatoes contain healthful, natural lycopene which is a powerful antioxidant. Corn is rich in sugars, carbohydrates and lipids. Papaya contains vitamins D, E and K, as well as the papain enzyme which exhibits good exfoliation activity. And let’s not forget cucumber’s reputation as a skin anti-inflammatory that has been used for generations to reduce puffiness and swelling around the eyes.

These are but a few of the many Vege Tech purees which are detailed in our Fruit & Vegetable Purees Product Listing. Special requests for custom blends to meet your specific needs are always welcome.
