Acai Extract

SAS Essential
This dark purple fruit that grows in the Brazilian Amazon is
the new health craze, and it is nice to see a craze that has scientific
evidence. The fruit pulp is rich in polyphenols that reduce proliferation of
cancer cells. It has a high antioxidant capacity and scavenges dangerous free
radicals, especially against peroxyl radicals. Anthocyanins are responsible for
the deep purple color.
Use: we suggest you add one teaspoon to 4
oz. of cream or lotion and mix well.
