Elderberry—it sounds like something aged, weakened, and shriveled. Nothing could be farther from the truth with the exquisite, wild-foraged and juicy elderberry we use from a farm in Ireland.
In fact, elderberry is one of the most-used medicinal plants in the world[1].
Throughout history, its leaves, flowers, and dark black berries have been used to treat burns, influenza, colds, infections, headaches, pain, and skin issues[2]. It even helps sinus infections[3]. Elderberry is jam-packed with nutrients: vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, iron flavanols[4], fiber, phenolyic acids, anthocyans[5].
It’s elderberry's amazing anthocyans[6] that fight toxins, reduce inflammation, and work as antioxidants.
Antioxidants[7] protect our cells. For your little baby who makes tons of cells every day, protecting each and every one of them is key to good growth and health.
And when your baby develops that common baby acne we all hate to see on our little one's luscious cheeks, the antiseptic effect of elderberry in our BEB Organic Soothing Serum (formerly named Healing Gel) helps fight infection and reduce pain.
With all these benefits, how could we not include elderberry to help build and protect your little one’s skin?
