We’re thrilled to add Apple Cider Vinegar – Unfiltered to our product line offering this month! Long touted as a natural remedy, you are likely already familiar with this famous ingredient. It is often directly referenced in product packaging and marketing due to its positive reputation as a health-forward naturally derived ingredient.
There are many reasons to appreciate Apple Cider Vinegar, and one major factor behind its popularity is its remarkable versatility. From dressing a salad to enriching a bone broth, ACV shines in the kitchen—but its value doesn’t stop there! It’s a favorite in the world of cosmetics and a go-to in countless DIY beauty regimens. In the nutraceutical space, it’s frequently included in formulations designed to support health and digestion and is commonly found in supplements and nutritional gummies. Unlike grape, grain, or rice-derived vinegars, ACV is widely available and especially prized in its unfiltered form. As consumers grow more conscious about natural, multipurpose alternatives to heavy-duty chemicals, ACV has also found its place as a household cleaner—valued for its antimicrobial properties and plant-based origin.
Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is free of additives and is naturally self-preserving due to its high acidity. It has antimicrobial properties and in its unfiltered state, contains a greater volume of beneficial probiotics and enzymes than its refined counterpart. While the probiotics are associated with “the mother,” the valuable enzymes present in unfiltered ACV are produced during fermentation of fresh-pressed apple juice, as sugars are first converted to alcohol, and then to vinegar.
Visually, Unfiltered ACV exhibits a clear amber appearance and a vibrantly tart, yet fruity flavor-profile and aroma.
Jedwards’ Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar is 60-grain, meaning it contains a 6% acetic acid concentration. While ACV grains can range between 40-grain to 100-grain, 60-grain is best-suited for household and culinary applications due to its balanced strength and palatability. Its moderate strength allows formulators to achieve desired preservation, exfoliation, or flavor enhancement effects while maintaining product safety and compatibility with other ingredients. Compared to lower concentrations which may be pre-diluted, it delivers more potency and functional benefits yet is gentler & more moderate than higher-grain ACVs. With a pH of approximately 3.2, it is optimal for cosmetics and skincare because it provides effective astringent and pH-balancing properties without irritating the skin, which has a natural pH around 4.5 – 5.5. Thus, you will find it in a multitude of cleansers, serums, sprays, shampoos, scrubs, masks, and toners.
Whether you are a DIYer or part of a research and development team, Apple Cider Vinegar is a trusted, time-tested ingredient that offers multifunctional benefits across a wide range of applications. Jedwards’ Unfiltered 60-grain Apple Cider Vinegar brings together quality, purity, and performance—ideal for everything from natural personal care formulations to culinary and nutraceutical innovations. We’re apple-solutely thrilled to provide this versatile, health-forward product as part of our ever-growing catalog of ingredients.
