A potent little berry hailing from the tropical regions of Central and South America is being termed as today's hottest SUPERFOOD. It called the ACAI BERRY.
What makes acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry a superfood? Well, researchers have analyzed its nutritional profile and it's simply off the charts. The acai berry is literally loaded with antioxidants, Vitamin C, key amino acids and many other beneficial nutrients. Not only does this mean internal benefits for the body, but it also has amazing skin care properties as well.
The acai berry (when ripe) looks like a blueberry but tastes more like a blend of berries and chocolate...YUMMO! It contains 10x's the amount of antioxidants of red grapes and up to 30x's the amount of anthocyanins (antioxidant flavonoids that protect the body systems) of red wine grapes. A study published in 2006 found that the "antioxidants in acai are able to enter human cells in a fully functional form and to perform an oxygen quenching function at very low doses." Quenching oxygen is extremely important within skin care because it prevents free radical damage- a key component to cellular damage and fine lines/wrinkles.
All of the nutritional components of the acai berry make it an integral part of a daily skin care regimine. You'll be excited to know that PRIIA Cosmetics will be offering a facial masque that contains all the goodness of the acai berry. Our Enzyme & Acai Berry Revitalizing Masque will help remove dead skin cells while imparting vital nutrients into the skin. It's perfect for all skin types, even those with acne, because it provides powerful and nourishing skin-balancing properties. Be on the lookout for this amazing product when PRIIA Cosmetics debuts in March.

Good Morning! I have been drinking this juice for about 2 years now a couple small bottles a week & I do believe in the antioxident factors in it. Combined with all the other great products I use on my skin I think this helps immensely...inside & out!
