When the sun is shining and the days are long, your skin is exposed to increased stress. UV rays, heat, pollution, and sweat can all impact your skin’s balance. While SPF is essential, the nutrients you consume matter just as much as topical care.That’s where Maqui Berry comes in.
Native to the pristine regions of southern Chile and Patagonia, the Maqui Berry is one of the most powerful antioxidant-rich berries in the world. With the highest concentration of antioxidants among berries such as açaí, goji and blueberries, it has also been used for centuries in traditional Mapuche medicine — including wound care and skin applications.
Today, emerging scientific research highlights Maqui’s potential to support healthy, radiant skin from within.
Why Maqui Berry Supports Skin Health
Maqui is exceptionally rich in anthocyanins, especially delphinidins — potent antioxidants known for their role in skin protection and cellular defense. Its antioxidant capacity, measured through ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), far exceeds that of other berries. A high ORAC score indicates strong support for neutralizing free radicals and resisting oxidative stress that contributes to visible aging.
Potential benefits of Maqui for skin:
- Neutralizing free radicals generated by UV exposure
- Helping prevent oxidative damage linked to wrinkles and dark spots
- Supporting a brighter, more even complexion
- Contributing to overall radiance, especially under summer sun

What Research Reveals About Maqui and Skin Health
A 2020 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that daily intake of Maqui Berry extract significantly improved skin tone and reduced facial redness in healthy Japanese women after 4 to 8 weeks.
- Improved brightness and color saturation
- Reduction in visible redness
- Trend toward increased collagen content
These findings reinforce Maqui’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and its potential to promote a more even, radiant complexion from within.
How Maqui May Support Skin During Summer
1. Natural UV Defense
Maqui does not replace sunscreen, but its antioxidants may help neutralize free radicals generated by sun exposure, reducing premature aging and pigmentation.
2. Hydration and Elasticity Support
Delphinidins may contribute to a stronger moisture barrier and support collagen-related mechanisms, promoting smoother, more supple skin.
3. Redness and Inflammation Reduction
Maqui’s natural anti-inflammatory activity can help calm sensitive or irritated skin, especially during heat exposure.
4. More Radiance and Even Tone
Research shows improvements in brightness and reductions in blotchiness, supporting a healthy summer glow.
