The potent active constituents in BODI’s Blue Quandong extract include:
Gallic Acid which provides anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties and is also an excellent wound healer, and may have use in the treatment of psoriasis.
Ellagic Acid which encourages elasticity and suppleness in aged skin, reduces inflammation of skin cells and the breakdown of collagen. Skin treated with Ellagic Acid exhibits fewer wrinkles than unprotected skin exposed to high UV.
Phenolic Acids are a powerful antioxidant, stronger than Vitamin E with anti-inflammatory activity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and behaves like a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA).
