Native to Nordic countries, blackcurrant was traditionally used as a liquor and said to be the long-life elixir according to apothecaries. Blackcurrant berries have moisturising and remineralising activities thanks to their content in carbohydrates and vitamins. Rich in polyphenols, they are a great source of anthocyanins, giving antioxidant and colouring powers. Blackcurrant extracts are thus ideal for anti-ageing concepts, fortifying or protective skin and hair care. With their antibacterial and astringent properties, the blackcurrant can also be used in cleansing and purifying face and body care.
