Bioactive Berry Complex is a blend of berry-derived extracts (such as bilberry, raspberry, blackberry, or acai) rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, and vitamins, used in topical formulations for antioxidant and skin-conditioning effects. It is intended to help neutralize free radicals and support skin's appearance.
