FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

Berry Resilience: Standardized to 4.37% anthocyanins, Black Currant Liquid Extract – 100% Natural (Standardized) delivers concentrated antioxidant support to help defend skin and hair against the visible effects of daily stressors. 

Soft & Supple: Naturally abundant in essential fatty acids, this extract replenishes hydration, leaving skin soft and smooth while nourishing hair with a silky, healthy feel. 

Age-Defying Radiance: By supporting collagen integrity, blackcurrant extract helps soften fine lines and improve elasticity for a firmer, more revitalized complexion. 

A Flush of Color: With its dark pink-red hue, this extract doubles as a natural colorant, imparting a subtle berry tone to creams, shampoos, lotions, and lip care products. 

Formulator Friendly: Carried in Propanediol, a corn sugar–derived solvent, the extract blends effortlessly into formulations while offering a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based glycols. 


DESCRIPTION 

Celebrated as one of nature’s most vibrant berries, Black Currant has long been linked with renewal and vitality. Black Currant Liquid Extract – 100% Natural (Standardized) is standardized to 4.37% anthocyanins, compounds found naturally in plants, fruits, and vegetables. These antioxidants help shield against visible stressors while supporting smoother, more resilient-looking skin and hair. 

Naturally rich in fatty acids, blackcurrant extract replenishes hydration and refines texture, while its pinkish-red hue enhances the beauty of lotions, conditioners, and creams. A favorite among skin care ingredients and hair care products, it embodies the nourishing benefits of blackcurrant for skin and hair.
