Goji Berry Extract
Goji berry extract is a bright orange-red botanical ingredient packed with antioxidants, vitamins and natural sugars. Popular in modern UK skincare, it helps protect skin from environmental stressors while delivering a fresh, radiant glow. It is commonly found in serums, moisturisers, eye creams and sheet masks.
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.
