Amaranth
(Amaranthus caudatus)
Once a staple of the Aztec diet, Amaranth has a high protein content, which makes it useful in hair products, where it can strengthen the hair shaft and ward off damage from heat, chemical treatment, and environmental pollutants. In skin care, however, Amaranth is often included as a potent source of squalane, a natural emollient that can help to leave skin soft and supple. It’s also rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which offer nourishing hydration.
Black Elderberry
(Sambucus nigra)
Antioxidant elderberries contain potent quantities of vitamin C. In folk medicine, the topical application of bark and leaves, mixed with chamomile, was traditionally prescribed as a remedy for joint stiffness, inflammation, swelling, and insect stings. A tea made by steeping the flowers in water is purported to alleviate cold and flu symptoms.
The plant’s properties render it a useful ingredient in skin care, too: it may help to comfort sensitive skin and reduce the appearance of redness. It also contains antioxidants, which help to support skin subject to the effects of free radicals. As a mild astringent, it can help to tighten pores for an even complexion.
