The humble potato, a low-cost pantry staple, is quietly making waves in skincare for its natural benefits, as seen in products like Skinfood’s Potato Madecassoside Soothing Pad.

These soothing skincare pads are purposefully infused with potato pulp extract to improve skin pigmentation and care for a damaged skin barrier. This product from the brand devoted to nourishing skin with food ingredients also features sage oil, rosemary leaf oil and sunflower seed oil. Using these pads is as simple as swiping them across areas that need calming relief, or applying them as a pack.

Vegetable-powered skincare satisfies consumers who seek out simple, effective ingredients that deliver real results without the fluff. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, potatoes offer various benefits, including brightening the complexion, reducing blemishes and dark spots.
