As we take stock of our planet and our health, people are making a conscious choice to use ingredients that’s reduce environmental impacts and which are bioavailable and non-harmful to body as a whole. Ingredients like Tasmanian mountain pepperberry is a game-changer for the skincare industry.
Tasmanian mountain pepperberry, also known as Tasmanian pepper or mountain pepper, is a native Australian plant that has been used for millennia by Australia's first people. The plant's leaves, berries, and bark contain high levels of antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols, making it a potent ingredient for skincare formulations.
One of the key benefits of Tasmanian mountain pepperberry is its ability to help reduce inflammation and redness in the skin. The plant's active compounds, including polygodial and isovanillin, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent ingredient for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, Tasmanian mountain pepperberry also has antioxidant properties, which can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation. The high levels of antioxidants in this ingredient can also aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improving overall skin texture and tone.
Another benefit of Tasmanian mountain pepperberry is that it has been shown to promote collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, and as we age, our bodies produce less of it.
At Alc’emy, we are committed to using only the highest quality, sustainably sourced ingredients in our skincare formulations. Wild Tasmanian mountain pepperberry is one of our hero ingredients. By harnessing the power of this potent botanical, we can help to create effective, natural skincare products that promote healthy, radiant skin. We look forward to sharing it so you can experience it too. Seeing is believing.
