Maqui berry is a native berry that grows in the wild forests of Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. This berry has been consumed from ancient times by indigenous people and is by nature extraordinarily rich in many nutrients and powerful flavonoid species known as anthocyanins. A specific category of these flavonoids, known as delphinidins is responsible for the very dark purple color of the berries as well as for several health applications.

Market Applications Details References Delphinidins present inside keratinocytes prevent UV-induced oxidative stress and cell death (apoptosis). Afaq et al., 2007 Skin Health Delphinol® significantly lowered pro-inflammatory markers IL-6 and IL-8 in an in vitro study. In addition, Delphinol® decreased the activity of MMP-1 in keratinocytes, which may prevent collagen fibers degradation and thus helps to maintain skin elasticity. Internal Data Healthy Aging Delphinol® improved telomere-shorting in oxidative conditions. Telomeres protect the end of chromosomes, which play a crucial role in the aging process. Internal Data Healthy Skin The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed with 16 Japanese women and showed that Delphinol® not only improved saturation and vividity of the skin but also impressively decreased the number of red spots and overall redness over an 8-week period. Shimizu et al., 2020
