Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract
Ingredient Info
Sugar maple extract is derived from the sap or leaves of sugar maple trees and contains natural sugars, minerals, and antioxidants. In skincare, it's primarily used for its humectant properties—meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin—and may provide mild antioxidant benefits.
Benefits
- Hydration and moisture retention
- Antioxidant protection from natural compounds
- Gentle, plant-derived ingredient
Science: Limited peer-reviewed data available for this ingredient. Its benefits are largely inferred from the known properties of maple sap (moisture-binding sugars and trace minerals) rather than dedicated clinical studies on skincare efficacy.
