Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Seed

Product Description

Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Seed Extract is a premium lipid-based botanical active derived from kiwi seeds, naturally enriched with essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and plant sterols.

It is designed for advanced skincare systems focusing on barrier repair, anti-aging nourishment, and deep moisturization.

At the molecular level, its lipid-rich composition helps integrate into the stratum corneum lipid matrix, supporting barrier integrity and reducing moisture loss.

At the functional level, it provides long-lasting hydration, improves skin softness, and enhances overall skin resilience against environmental stress.

It is widely used in anti-aging oils, barrier repair creams, nourishing emulsions, and premium skincare formulations.
