Exotic berries extracts (e.g., açaí, goji, maqui, acerola) are plant-derived ingredients rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins and vitamin C, used in skincare for their antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. They are typically incorporated to help defend against oxidative stress and support overall skin appearance.
