| BLACKCURRANT - SOOTHING BERRIES WITH EXTRA VITAMIN C and GLA POWER |
The sweet-tart flavored Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) is a powerhouse of Vitamin C, Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA), essential fatty acids and many other macro and micro-nutrients.
Organic Skin Care toners or hydrators infused with Blackcurrant extract provide an Extra Dose of ‘Moisture + Protection’ to the skin. While Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids seal the protective barrier from moisture loss, other lipid-loving nutrients in Blackcurrant travel deep inside the dermis, and heals damaged skin.
The detoxification power of Blackcurrant Extract is derived from its antioxidant-rich organic acids and phenolic compounds, which are highly potent in neutralizing free radicals that damage the skin. Vitamin C is one of the proven antioxidants that has multiple anti-aging skin benefits, and the concentration of Vitamin C in Blackcurrant is five times that of an Orange! Blackcurrant helps reduce wrinkles and plump-up the skin, while leaving behind a beautiful glowing complexion.
GLA is another extraordinary fatty acid found in Blackcurrant that controls sebum production and suppresses inflammation of the skin, which makes it an extremely desirable ingredient in the control of acne and blackheads. The organic extracts of the fruit are especially effective in treating dry skin, atopic dermatitis or eczema, rosacea, itching and red bumps caused by shaving or waxing.
