Acai has a huge variety of uses, and manufacturers are utilizing it in more and more inventive ways. It seems to crop up in almost every foodstuff and drink that attempts to sell itself as a health product. But what perhaps issurprising is that it is becoming a firm favorite of those manufacturers that make beauty and skin products.

Beauty products? Surely that’s pushing the limits of where acai can help us?

Well, actually no it isn’t. The antioxidants in acai (yes, they had a play a cameo role in this process at some point…) are good for your skin. We know that much already. So why shouldn’t we be able to just apply those antioxidants straight to our skin?

The fact is that if we apply the antioxidants directly to the skin then they can be absorbed more quickly and so do their job more efficiently. The process of digesting the antioxidants and allowing them to do their magic (the traditional method, if you like) is all well and good, but going directly to where we want the results makes more sense.

Other Products

Other beauty products invariably use oils to achieve their promised effects. Acai oils are not really any different to these more traditional ingredients, it’s just that acai contains a whole load of wonderful antioxidants; it is a powerhouse of antioxidant action. Choosing acai oils for beauty products rather than the traditional components just means more antioxidant benefit.

Studies have shown that acai could be the perfect alternative to facial and body creams, shampoos, anti-aging products, and many other creams and ointments. More and more manufacturers are seeing the benefits of acai in their products, so expect to see this as a standard in the near future.
