Blackcurrants grow wild in New Zealand, particularly in the Marlborough region that is known for its long warm summer days. We love the seasonal harvest because sweet, sun-scorched blackcurrants are fun to forage and delicious to devour, and the berry's oil is antioxidant rich and contains the essential fatty acid GLA - both of which are beautiful for skin and health.
For your skin, it is:
- a boost to healthy skin cells
- a means of purifying and protecting
- a great way to reduce inflammation.
Blackcurrant contains the essential fatty acid gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). It's high in Vitamins C and E and polyphenol antioxidants. It also has high oxygen radical absorbance capacity'- the ability to absorb and neutralize free radical damage and thus purify your skin.
