Myrciaria dubia, a berry native to the Amazon rainforest

- Contains flavonoids, which are plant-derived chemicals that protect against environmental stressors and UV radiation
- Contains Vitamin B3
- Contains greater than 30 antioxidant phenolics
- Proven to help achieve the appearance of firmer luminous skin
- Potent anti-inflammatory
- Antibacterial
- Antiviral
- Effective on melanin-production cells: helps reduce sun damage spots and discoloration from inflammation such as acne
- Lifts dead skin/exfoliates to create healthier skin
The root of the Glycyrrhiza plant
- Licorice Root is a natural antioxidant
- Contains flavonoids, which are plant-derived chemicals that protect against environmental stressors and UV radiation
- Neutralizes free radicals from the environment (free radicals lead to aging, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation)
- Anti-inflammatory
- Decreases hyperpigmentation and brightens the skin
- Glabridin, a chemical compound found in licorice root, inhibits tyrosinase, which stops melanin production.
- Glabridin soothes skin and can help with sensitive skin and inflammatory skin processes such as acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.
- Produces liquiritin, which contributes to its lightening qualities. Over time, may help overall skin tone and clarity as it breaks up melanin
- Produces licochalcone, which helps regulate oil production
