What is RIBES NIGRUM FRUIT EXTRACT used for?
Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract is a potent ingredient rich in good-for-the-skin antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Primarily, it acts as a protection for the skin - shielding it against environmental damage and free radicals responsible for early aging of the skin. For this reason, blackcurrant extract is quite common in cosmetics targeting anti-aging. Its high vitamin C content promotes collagen synthesis and fades hyperpigmentation, leaving radiant and healthy-looking skin. Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract is also anti-inflammatory and prevents moisture loss. In hair care, it strengthens the shafts and improves scalp protection. Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract is commonly found in brightening products, soothing formulations, lip care, and shampoos.
Origin
Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract comes from the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) fruits. This plant is native to the temperate regions of Asia and Europe. Blackcurrant fruits are first washed and then they undergo a solvent extraction process, using water or glycerin. Once the fruit extract is obtained, it is filtered to remove impurities.
