Properties and Benefits of Cucumber Fruit Extract

Hydrating and Anti-Inflammatory

Cucumber contains polysaccharides that are also found in aloe vera and are responsible for the hydrating and anti-inflammatory benefits in cucumbers. Polysaccharides create a gel like layer on your skin that acts as a barrier to attract and keep moisture in.

Cooling and Astringent

Cucumbers are naturally cooling and astringent. Use fresh cucumber slices under your eyes to tighten and sooth the delicate skin there. The cooling effects of cucumber are great for calming sensitive skin types. Astringent properties help to balance oily skin and improve the appearance of large pores and acne.
