9 Superfruit Extracts That Will Transform the Look of Your Skin
You’ve probably heard of the term ‘superfoods’ before – ingredients that have a much higher than average nutritional content. Within this category sit several fruits, often referred to as superfruits. While adding more of these fruits to your diet can have a hugely positive impact on your overall health, they’re also excellent ingredients to incorporate into your skincare routine.
If you’re wondering which fruits in particular you should be keeping an eye out for, keep reading as OROGOLD shares nine superfruit extracts that will work wonders on your complexion.
1) Rose Hip
Let’s start with rose hip – a fruit that isn’t as commonly consumed as some of the others on this list. Rose hips are the fruits that are produced after a rose flower dies, and they’re known for being an incredible source of vitamin C. In fact, rose hips contain even more vitamin C than citrus fruits! They’re also loaded with vitamin A, vitamin E, powerful polyphenols, fatty acids, and several skin-loving minerals.
What does all of this mean for your skin? Simply put, rose hip extract, which is also known as rose hip oil, is a superstar at repairing the appearance of damage and reducing the visible signs of skin aging. It will give you skin that looks smoother, firmer, and brighter.
Interestingly, certain varieties of rose hips are more nutritious than others. Rosa Rugosa or Rosa Canina are the ones that you want, with the latter being found in several OROGOLD products. We even have an entire skincare collection dedicated to the power of rose hips: the 24K Rose Gold Collection. Add one (or all!) of these products to your beauty routine to treat your skin to all of the many benefits offered by this superfruit.
2) Lemon
Just like rose hips, lemons are considered to be a superfruit because of their exceptionally high vitamin C content. These tangy fruits are also brimming with flavonoids – aka plant compounds that boast extraordinary antioxidant properties. You’ll find a few key minerals in this fruit extract too, including magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.
This makes lemon extract a great ingredient for brightening and reviving the look of the skin. Some of its flavonoids are also able to target the appearance of discoloration, evening out the skin tone and lightening the look of hyperpigmentation.
Although lemon is acidic and astringent in nature, it tends to be well tolerated by all skin types. With that said, the concentration that’s used is important to avoid irritation and sensitivities, while the other ingredients that it’s combined with will have an impact as well. With the OROGOLD Termica Energizing Mask, you’ll be able to give lemon extract a try without having to worry about irritating your skin. In this formula, it’s joined by aloe vera, arnica Montana, sweet almond extract, and more. They’ll all keep your skin feeling calm and happy while the lemon extract works its magic.
3) Lime
When it comes to nutritional properties, limes are very similar to lemons, making these sour fruits a superfruit too. Where the two start to differ is when it comes to acidity, with limes being more acidic than lemons. Limes are also a better source of vitamin A, calcium, and phosphorus.
This essentially makes lime extract a better choice if you’re looking for a superfruit that will help shrink the appearance of enlarged pores and tighten the look of your skin. It’s loved for reducing the visibility of acne scars as well.
Want to add this citrus superfruit to your skincare routine? The OROGOLD 24K Nano Ultra Silk Serum makes this easy. With a combination of lime, kelp, rosemary, sesame, and sweet almond, it provides the perfect blend of antioxidants and hydrating compounds, enabling it to keep the skin looking radiant all day long.
4) Cucumber
Although cucumbers are usually treated as a vegetable, they’re technically a fruit…and a superfruit at that! Yes, 95% of a cucumber consists of water, but the rest of each fruit is made up of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants.
The high water content of cucumbers makes this one of the most hydrating superfruits around. The other nutrients focus on repairing the appearance of damage and bolstering the feel of the skin barrier. Cucumber fruit extract also provides a soothing and cooling sensation, with this ingredient revered for how it calms the feeling of inflammation in the skin.
One product that really highlights all of the unique properties offered by this superfruit extract is the OROGOLD 24K Purifying Toner. Cucumber fruit extract is joined by a few other ingredients that offer similar properties, such as aloe vera leaf juice and chamomile extract. Together, they provide a refreshing splash of moisture and antioxidants post-cleanse.
5) Avocado
While you may not have been aware that some of the fruits on this list are considered superfruits, avocado is famous for its superfruit status. This fruit is extremely nutrient-dense, featuring a number of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, C, E, K, and folate, along with potassium, magnesium, and copper, can be found in high amounts in avocados. The fruit is also renowned for its fatty acid content, with plenty of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
With fatty acids being exceptionally moisturizing, avocado extract, or oil, offers the same properties. Meanwhile, the other nutrients in this extract work to boost the feeling of elasticity, hydration, and firmness.
This is why avocado oil can be found in a variety of OROGOLD products. The 24K Nano Day Recovery is one, with this day cream bringing the benefits of the superfruit to life. It’s infused with a concoction of other super-hydrating and moisturizing ingredients too, including sodium hyaluronate, seaweed extract, sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, and peptides.
6) Grapefruit
Another member of the citrus family to add to our list of skin-loving superfruit extracts is the grapefruit. Again, you’ll find a boatload of vitamin C in this fruit, along with a plethora of other antioxidants. Lycopene and beta-carotene are particularly notable. Folate and thiamin, both of which are B vitamins, can be found in grapefruit extract too.
Even more importantly, grapefruit extract is a natural source of tartaric and malic acid. Both of these are alpha-hydroxy acids, meaning that they have a mild exfoliating effect on the skin. Along with the other nutrients in this superfruit, they’ll quickly brighten the look of the skin while repairing the appearance of cell damage.
You’ll find grapefruit extract in the OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo. This two-part system brings together some of the most revered ingredients in the industry, including resveratrol, niacinamide, and peptides. It also contains rose hip extract, giving you two superfruit extracts in one formula!
7) Pomegranate
Technically, the pomegranate is a berry, and just about every berry would be considered a superfruit. Why? Because berries are known for being loaded with a high concentration of antioxidants and other phytonutrients, and pomegranates are no exception. This superfruit is loaded with vitamin C, polyphenols, vitamin E, vitamin K, and more.
Thanks to their high antioxidant content, pomegranates are very effective at reducing the appearance of aging and free radical damage. If your skin has been looking creased, dull, or discolored, pomegranate extract would be a great ingredient to try.
You’ll find it, along with an impressively long list of other superfruit extracts, in the 24K Nano Hydra Silk Mask. This leave-on, antioxidant-rich mask contains the likes of Maqui, bilberry, noni fruit, mangosteen, goji berry, and acai berry. They’re all famous for being some of the best superfoods around!
8) Sichuan Pepper
While you may not want to add Sichuan peppercorns to a fruit salad, this is a superfruit well worth acquainting yourself with. This spicy fruit is not only a great source of vitamin A but also has a high mineral content. Between iron, manganese, copper, and phosphorus, along with its plentiful antioxidants, it’s a skincare powerhouse.
When incorporated into skincare products, it’s quite the multi-tasker. Studies show that it leaves the skin feeling soothed, reducing the appearance of inflammation. It can be a game-changer for anyone with sensitive skin. It also counters the feeling of roughness, giving the skin a more elastic touch.
While this superfruit may be a little harder to find in skincare products, the OROGOLD Flawless Finish Silk Capsules give you the opportunity to treat your skin to this ingredient’s benefits. This encapsulated face cream is packed with other antioxidant-rich ingredients too, enabling it to turn back the visible effects of time.
9) Olive
Last but not least, let’s talk about olives. They’re an amazing source of vitamin E, along with a variety of minerals. They’re also renowned for being rich in essential fatty acids, compounds that can have a transformational effect on the complexion.
These properties are why olive extract, or oil, is known for being exceptionally hydrating and moisturizing. Thanks to its antioxidants, it also keeps the skin feeling protected against free radical damage, making it essential if you’re trying to prevent the appearance of skin aging.
With olive oil being such a popular skincare ingredient, there’s a good chance that it already features in your skincare routine! However, if it doesn’t, give the OROGOLD 24K Termica Completion Cream a try. Olive fruit oil is joined by green tea extract, caffeine, peptides, and licorice root extract. They all come together to rejuvenate the complexion, giving it a radiant glow.
