Blackcurrant
Ribes nigrum
For many Swedes, a glass of blackcurrant is an instant trip back to the summers of their childhood. Full of vitamin C and polyphenols, blackcurrants are packed with skin-boosting nutrients. In fact, the whole plant is wonderfully versatile as a beauty ingredient, with the leaves, bark, fruit and oil brimming with skin-friendly properties. Blackcurrant oil, in particular, is rich in essential fatty acids that help moisturise and soften the skin and hair.
