About this ingredient
Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract (acai fruit extract) is rich in anthocyanins and other polyphenols. In a formula it works as a plant antioxidant: it helps neutralize free radicals at the surface and supports the skin against everyday oxidative stress. As an active it is a supporting antioxidant with reasonable in vitro backing, but its real effect on skin depends heavily on concentration and color stability in the formula. It is a good complement within an antioxidant routine, not a replacement for better-studied actives like vitamin C. Without sunscreen its protective contribution is limited. Topically systemic uptake is negligible, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good: low irritation and allergy, suitable for sensitive skin. It has no meaningful comedogenic profile, so it fits any skin type.
