Figs, also known as the forbidden fruit, is, in fact, packed with healthy nutrition. The original fruit is small and the flesh of the fruit is sweet and juicy. So when fig extract is used as a skincare ingredient, it tends to have a sticky and thick texture. Hydration is the foremost important part of skincare.
