Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fiber
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fiber is derived from apple pomace, a plant-based, natural polysaccharide used in personal care formulas. It increases viscosity, stabilizes emulsions, suspends pigments, and gives products a smooth, matte feel.

Our take
Is Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fiber a Good Ingredient?
Fair, because it functions primarily as a texture builder and stabilizer with minimal evidence for direct skincare benefits. Overall risk is low, though botanical residues or particulates can occasionally trigger mild irritation in sensitive skin.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Improves glide and leaves a soft-touch, non-greasy finish in applications, though it primarily improves texture and skincare effects beyond that feel are limited.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Added to moisturizers, clay masks, and liquid foundations to build body and keep colorants evenly dispersed.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally considered low-irritation, but sensitive users may experience mild redness or itch due to natural residues. Patch testing is prudent for reactive skin. No specific regulatory restrictions commonly noted.
