Some of the healthiest foods and natural ingredients on the planet are the ones you won’t find on your local supermarket shelves, and camu camu is no exception. Though you won’t find it in grocery aisles, you’ve likely heard of this superfood if you’re into nutrition, wellness, and skincare.
A berry native to the Amazon rainforests of Brazil, the camu camu berry has quite a tart and sour flavor, which is one of the main reasons why you won’t usually find it sold as a fruit. Despite its small size and nonchalant appearance, only about the same size and color as a cherry, camu camu packs a massive punch of benefits for your health and is widely considered a superfruit by health experts.
Let’s take a look at a few of the scientifically-proven health benefits of camu camu and how this superfruit can benefit your skin.
1. A Mega-Source of Vitamin C
Camu camu naturally contains about 3 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams of the fruit, which makes it one of the most potent natural sources of this vitamin on the planet. In comparison, the vitamin C content of your average orange is 30–60 times less! Yep, it’s not even a comparison there. Something like orange peel might be an okay addition to skincare products, but its benefits can’t even come close to camu camu!
A necessary nutrient for the skin’s overall health, vitamin C provides an important lifeline for the skin’s natural exfoliation process. When you keep your skin loaded with its prime nutrients, it’ll regenerate faster and fresh skin will bloom with bright, radiant colors, fewer wrinkles, and fewer patches.
