What is Camu Camu Powder (Organic)?

Camu Camu Powder is made from a small berry known for its high dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system and slows down the aging process of the body. The skin especially benefits from the healing powers of Camu Camu Powder!

Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is the name of the shrub on which these healing berries grow and is found in the Amazon region. Originally, the berries were used to strengthen the immune system and processed into jam, wine and liqueur. The berry has a somewhat sour, astringent taste.

Benefits

Protective anti-ager

Camu Camu Powder is rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against UV radiation. Sun damage is the number one cause of rapid skin aging, wrinkle formation and tired-looking skin. In that respect, Camu Camu Powder is therefore a real anti-ager, which is further enhanced by the fact that vitamin C stimulates collagen production.

Please note: Camu Camu Powder is not a substitute for sunscreen.

Superfood for your skin

Even if you quickly suffer from dry skin when there is a lot of pollen in the air, the high amount of Vitamin C in Camu Camu can help protect your skin. Moreover, Camu Camu Powder is packed with other vitamins and minerals, including iron, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, beta-carotene, B2 and B3. In other words: Camu Camu is a real superfood for your skin!

How do you use it?

Process the powder into your DIY skincare products.

What makes it so special?

A Camu Camu berry can contain up to 60(!) times as much vitamin C as an orange. No wonder that Camu Camu Powder is seen as a real superfood for the skin, which can always use some extra protection.
