Betacarotene is the carotenoid most present in nature and is the precursor of Vitamin A, known for the maintenance of skin health, for the development of bones and to maintain the efficiency of vision.

The Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia) is a small fruit native to South America also known as the "cherry of the Antilles", due to the similarity of its berries to cherries. This plant is a rich natural source of Vitamin C and, with a quantity of ascorbic acid 30-50 times higher than that contained in citrus fruits, is a powerful natural antioxidant for the skin.
Vitamin E performs an effective antioxidant action and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Together with Vitamin C it acts against free radicals, responsible for cellular aging, accelerated process following sun exposure.
