Blackberry

Blackberry Rubus idaeus, and raspberry, Rubus fruticosus are rich in vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. These cousins are appreciated primarily for their high ellagic and anthocyanin acid content, two antioxidant polyphenols present in tannins that defy cellular ageing by improving elasticity and skin density.

Various in vitro studies have shown that extracts of the Rubus family, namely raspberry and blackberry, inhibit the propogation of cancer cells and tumors.

Their high content of antioxidants helps prevent cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and various chronic illnesses. Extracts of blackberry and raspberry have proven highly effective in boosting the blood’s antioxidant capacity by preventing free radicals from forming and decreasing cellular oxidation, the two great culprits of ageing.

Recommended for mature or untoned skins subjected to red blotches and sagging.
