Strawberry season and skin care

It's strawberry season and it's the perfect time to wake up your skin from the winter hibernation with this amazing fruit.

Strawberry contains more than 90% water. The rest are a combination of acids, sugars, polyphenols and minerals. The taste is a balance between sugars , acids and flavors. During the ripening process the acid concentration decreases and the sugar concentration increases. The acids are mainly citric acid, malic acid (both are AHAs) and ellagic acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Citric acid.ascorbic acid and ellagic acid are powerful natural anti-oxidants.

The sugars are mainly fructose and glucose. The color comes from anthocyanins (polyphenols) with strong anti-oxidant activity.

Over 350 volatile molecules have been detected in strawberry flavor and it is one of the most difficult natural flavors to imitate.

Add strawberry as a juice or puree to your spring and summer skin care to nourish your skin with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

BeHappy and have fun
