Small berries, big effect
Acai berries are the blackish-purple fruits of the cabbage palm Euterpe oleracea, which is native to the warm humid Amazon region of South America, where they have been used by native inhabitants as a food and remedies. In Europe, this wonderful palm fruit has only become recently known. However, this exotic power fruit has proved itself a true super fruit with a particularly high content of nutrients. Let’s take a closer look at the acai berry.
Small but impressive- the power ingredients of the acai berry
Beneath their secretive, dark shiny skin, these small inconspicuous fruits contain a real cocktail of ingredients: their most important ingredients include proteins, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, flavonoids and anthocyanins- the latter are anti-oxidants that give their berries their deep purple colour. Anti-oxidants strengthen your skin’s defences and also protect it from harmful free radicals.
Its numerous vitamins and minerals complete this important protection squad for naturally beautiful skin. This makes the organic acai berry a special gift from nature that we are pleased to use in selected products.
