Premier Naturals, the natural cosmetics division of OnScent, introduced its Acerola Cherry Ferment at both the 2024 SCC Annual Scientific Meeting in L.A. and Cosmoprof 2025 in Miami. According to the company, acerola cherry has captured the interest of beauty innovators due to its high antioxidant and vitamin C content.

Through fermentation using a proprietary strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, these benefits are enhanced, increasing nutrient bioavailability and mitigating glycation and fine lines. The ingredient is thus said to leverage the nutritive power of acerola cherry to deliver benefits for both skin and hair care while meeting eco-conscious beauty standards.
