Want the science too? Always. The humble carrot is a powerhouse at delivering beta-carotene, which raises the skin's sunburn threshold, accelerates cell turnover, regulates sebum, and promotes Type I & III collagen synthesis. The inclusion of blood oranges prevents tyrosinase activity to address pigmentation, plus its high vitamin C levels promote skin luminosity and collagen structure. Feeling glowy? And finally, our hero ingredient, goji berry, is the richest known food source of zeaxanthin dipalmitate—a compound that intercepts UV damage before it occurs.
The Golden Goji Elixir is best as a morning tonic; it's fresh and punchy, and your skin will love you for it. Let your food do your beauty work.
