Goji Fruit Extract description

Also known by its INCI name of _Lycium barbarum_ fruit extract, this bright, warm red berry, native to Asia, is a very good source of antioxidant compounds such as phenolic acids and flavonoids that can help defend the skin and body from environmental damage, resulting in numerous potential health benefits. The polysaccharides from this plant have also proven to be a boon for health, while the antioxidant component helps mitigate signs of environmental damage when applied to skin or consumed orally. Goji berries, also known as wolfberries, are considered as one of the superfruits and are a good source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Goji is often touted as a miracle for skin and body, but that’s stretching the truth. No question it’s a very good ingredient, but it’s not the best berry out there; rather, it’s one of several great berry ingredients to consider, and the more of those you include in your skin care and in your diet, the better.
