All you need to know on fruit acids (AHAs) in cosmetics
In 1936, Madame Baché created the very first cream with tomato AHAs. Today, many skin care products use fruit acids to renew the skin while respecting the epidermis. Discover the antioxidant properties of fruit acids with our Collection TOMATOGLOW, dedicated to brightening and smoothing facial skin.
Zoom sur les propriétés antioxydantes des acides de fruits AHA à travers notre gamme TOMATE GLOW centrée sur l’éclat et le lissage de la peau du visage.
AHAs: a variety of forms and benefits for the skin
AHAs ("alpha hydroxy acids") are mainly derived from fruit or plant sugars. On distinguishes several varieties of fruit acids, including
- Lactic acid (tomato, blueberry, etc.)
- Citric acid (orange, lemon, etc.)
- Malic acid (apple, pear, etc.)

Thanks to their triple smoothing, anti-aging and perfecting action, AHAs gently care for skin showing the first signs of aging. They stimulate cell renewal by eliminating dead cells and smoothing skin texture to visibly transform the quality of the epidermis.
L’acide lactique est bien sûr au cœur de nos formules TOMATE GLOW, qui se fondent sur un Complexe Synergique de 4 antioxydants de Tomate (le lycopène, les polyphénols, le phytoène et le phytofluène). Issu d’un fruit doux, il convient idéalement à l’exfoliation des peaux sèches et sensibles.
It is combined with malic acid and tartaric acid, concentrated from white grapes, in a Trio of naturally-derived AHAs found in some of Collection's skin care products. These then offer a peeling effect to the skin, for a visibly smoother, more even face.
