Greek mythology is full of references to apples. They were offered as a wedding gift to Hera when she married Zeus, a tradition that was customized later by Solon. The ancient Greeks believed that this fruit was protected by the nymphs of Milia, while Homer used the apple as a reason for the Trojan War to break out, writing that Paris had naively offered the Golden Apple of Discord to Aphrodite. Alexander the Great believed that apples contributed to longevity and the Pythagoreans also used it as an occult symbol.

Recently, I found apple seed oil and apple extract in order to use them for their cosmetic properties. So happy!
The apple seed oil is rich in oleic and linoleic acids that enhance the overall appearance of the skin. It accelerates the natural collagen production process of the skin and contributes strongly to cellular regeneration while apple extract contains AHA, revitalizes the skin, maintains its elasticity and features anti-aging properties.
Both of the apple products have natural UV filtration properties, help to give the skin a rejuvenated look and are used in the treatment of various skin conditions, including acne.
