Benefits
Natural
With seeds rich in moisture-boosting linoleic acid, and skin bursting with antioxidants, this vibrant fruit is just as legendary as its namesake.
Dragon fruit (also known as pitaya or strawberry pear) is the fruit of several cacti species, native to Central America and cultivated across tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The fruit is covered in bright, leathery scales that resemble dragon skin.
What are the benefits of fresh dragon fruit?
Hydrating — B vitamins and vitamin E all aid moisture retention and care for the skin barrier
Radiance — vitamin C encourages smoother, glowy looking skin
Exfoliating — seeds a-plenty give a lovely scrub that refreshes dull skin
Fresh dragon fruit contains a plethora of antioxidant compounds, such as betalain, the same antioxidant that gives beetroot its infamous crimson hue. These antioxidants combat dull looking skin and uneven skin tone.
