Anthocyanins might just be Mother Nature's Secret Weapon To Keep You Healthy. Antioxidants have become a buzzword in the beauty industry, and you've probably seen the word anthocyanin come up once or twice when researching the best ingredients to make you glow!
Anthocyanin is scientific lingo for a class of compounds that have those magical antioxidant effects (fighting free radicals with anti-inflammatory and anti-viral benefits) so, you know, packed with the good stuff! Anthocyanins are the pigments that give purple, blue, and red food and plants their rich colouring (ie. Açai, blueberries, plums and other superfoods that health professionals are always recommending!). This natural secret weapon has been known to help fend off a whole range of health issues.
Adding anthocyanin to your beauty routine doesn't have to be complicated. I've rounded up my favourite products that harness Mother Nature's best, giving you all the benefits (and then some!) of this ultra-powerful antioxidant.
Which products contain Anthocyanins?
