They have a great concentration of Antioxidants, Flavonoids, Anthocyanins, and Polyphenols. The chemical compounds found in these flowers work against glycation, which is when the proteins that makeup the skin are damaged by harmful sugar molecules. These properties help keep skin looking firm, youthful, and bright.
With an abundance of nutrients and antioxidants, these flowers are a beautiful skin softener. They also strengthen our skin’s response to the sun.
