How it works in skincare

In cosmetics goji berry extract functions as a potent antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent. Rich in polysaccharides, carotenoids and vitamin C, it helps neutralise free radicals generated by urban pollution and UV exposure, supporting the skin’s natural defence system. Its humectant sugars also attract moisture to the skin, improving hydration and leaving the complexion looking plump and luminous.
