Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) has a long history of traditional use in skincare, mainly due to its association with peaches and other stone fruits in ancient remedies. In various cultures, nectarine extracts, pulp, or oils have been applied to the skin for their perceived moisturizing, soothing, and rejuvenating effects. Traditional medicine texts and folk practices have valued nectarine for its vitamin and antioxidant content, suggesting benefits for skin health and appearance. However, these uses are primarily anecdotal and passed down through generations, rather than being based on rigorous scientific validation.
Modern scientific studies specifically evaluating nectarine’s effects on skin care are limited. While nectarines do contain vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and phenolic compounds that are generally beneficial for skin health, there is a lack of direct clinical research demonstrating their efficacy when applied topically or ingested for skin-specific outcomes. Consequently, the use of nectarine in skin care remains rooted in tradition, with minimal scientific evidence to support its effectiveness for general skin care purposes.
