Why an Elderberry Bar?
There is scientific evidence supporting the skincare benefits of the elderberry. One study found that it helps fight off the effects of aging by improving microcirculation. This is the circulation of the tiniest blood vessels.
Additionally, elderberries are rich in antioxidants, specifically flavonoids, and anthocyanins. These powerful antioxidants provide protection from the free radicals just waiting to wreak havoc on your skin. Elderberry is also rich in vitamin A, as well as vitamins C and E, all skincare powerhouse ingredients.
Some of the skin-boosting nutrients found in elderberries include bioflavonoids, choline, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, pectin, and tannins. These give the elderberry its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.
