What is Juniper Berry?
Juniper berries are small, seed-like cones that grow on the juniper shrub (Juniperus communis). Found in many parts of the world, they tend to grow in cooler regions and have even been found growing in the Artic. Known for their crisp, invigorating aroma, these berries have been used for centuries due to their multiple skincare benefits. Juniper berry is found in many ishga products, and forms part of our well-known, signature uplifting scent!
Skin Benefits of Juniper Berry
Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and essential oils, juniper berry is a natural astringent with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties.
1. Clarifies and Detoxifies: Juniper berry is known for its ability to cleanse pores and remove impurities, making it an excellent choice for oily, acne prone, or congested skin.
2. Balances Oil Production: Its natural astringent properties help regulate sebum, reducing shine and breakouts without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
3. Soothes and Calms: Anti-inflammatory compounds help calm redness, irritation, and inflammation, supporting a healthy skin barrier.
4. Antioxidant Protection: The antioxidants found in juniper berry help to fight free radicals, reducing the signs of premature ageing and promoting radiant skin.
