Acer Saccharum Extract description

_Acer saccharum_ extract (also known as sugar maple extract) is noted in research for its antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants help defend skin from environmental stressors, which in turn delivers visible anti-aging benefits. This plant extract is also categorized as a skin-conditioning agent. Some websites claim that _Acer saccharum_ extract works as a keratolytic/exfoliant because it contains natural AHAs such as malic acid; however, independent studies have not shown this to be true. This ingredient is not equivalent to using pure alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic or lactic. All told, there isn’t much research related to _Acer saccharum_ extract’s effects on skin. We look forward to more independent research on this plant extract in the future. Fun fact: _Acer saccharum_ extract comes from the bark and sap of the sugar maple tree (native to North America), which is also a source of edible maple syrup.
