A study showed that cherry seed extract can slow aging and improve skin health. MDPI magazine indicates that sour cherries are used in the food industry to produce juices, pickles and wine. By-products, including cores, are burned or thrown into garbage piles, leading to soil, water and air pollution.

The researchers sought to find a use for this waste, and decided to extract the pulp of the seeds, then dry them in an oven and grind them into a powder, after which certain substances were extracted from its solution or dry mixture.

It became clear to the researchers that sour cherry pit extract is a rich source of antioxidants and polyphenols. Antioxidants are molecules that fight oxidation processes in the body. They work to restore and neutralize molecules damaged by free radicals that accelerate aging (reducing the level of oxidative stress), which can be caused by environmental pollution and prolonged exposure to UV rays. Polyphenols also have antioxidant properties. In addition, it is able to relieve inflammation.
