Myrica Cerifera (Bayberry) Fruit Extract Description
(bayberry) fruit extract comes from the bluish-white edible berries of a flowering evergreen shrub that’s native to regions in North and Central America.
As with most berries, bayberry fruit is a rich source of antioxidants, some of which research has shown may play a role in helping to minimize bacterial infections. These antioxidant compounds also have soothing properties, and include proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, vitamin C, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. In fact, research has shown this fruit can interrupt some of the pathways that drive acne-related inflammation (although it is not an acne treatment).
