Help exfoliate and lighten your skin

Since ancient times, tamarind fruit pulp has been utilized as a natural skin cleanser. Since alpha-hydroxyl acids are present, it encourages the development of smoother and lighter skin (AHAs). Tamarind pulp contains tartaric acid (8–23.8%), lactic acid (2%), citric acid, and malic acid among other AHAs. These AHAs nourish and moisturize your skin, as do pectin and inverted sugar.

According to legend, tamarind pulp has skin-lightening effects. 11 male participants participated in a study to find out how tamarind seed extract affected their skin tone. For 12 weeks, their faces were rubbed with the seed extract twice daily. When the test product was used, there was a relative decrease in the amount of sebum and melanin in the skin. This could be explained by tamarind's antioxidant polyphenol content. These substances destroy free radicals from your body, which indirectly lowers the amount of melanin in your skin.
