What Is Emblica?
Emblica, derived from the Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), is one of the most potent natural antioxidants known. Also called amla, this fruit has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for its rejuvenating properties.
The extract contains exceptionally high levels of vitamin C and unique tannins that remain stable and effective longer than other vitamin C sources. Its antioxidant capacity is among the highest measured in any natural ingredient.
In skincare, emblica provides comprehensive protection against oxidative stress while also brightening the complexion and evening out skin tone.
