The hardy redcurrant shrub thrives in colder climates like Sweden’s, yielding ruby red fruits that are often enjoyed as a refreshing cordial drink. The tangy fruits are a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high levels of minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2 and K and packed with vitamin C and carotenoids, both of which provide antioxidant benefits to the skin. Redcurrants’ high fruit acid content also makes them a wonderfully toning skin care ingredient.
