Key Findings
- Researchers at Aomori University found that apple pomace extract (APE) boosts the growth of skin cells called fibroblasts
- APE increases the production of hyaluronic acid and type I collagen, which are crucial for skin hydration and strength
- The study suggests APE could be a natural ingredient for anti-aging skincare by promoting skin cell growth and maintaining skin structure
