MACA ROOT POWDER

SKIN BENEFITS of Maca Root Extract

✨ 1. Improves Skin Radiance and Glow

Maca contains antioxidants and nutrients that help improve blood circulation and oxygenation, giving the skin a healthy, natural glow.

2. Balances Hormones (Helps with Acne)

Hormonal acne, especially in women, can be reduced by maca’s natural ability to balance estrogen and other hormones, helping calm breakouts related to cycles or hormonal imbalances.

️ 3. Fights Skin Aging

Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, maca helps neutralize free radicals, which are responsible for premature aging. It may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

4. Hydration and Elasticity Support

Some users report that maca helps maintain skin moisture and elasticity, making the skin look firmer and more supple. It’s also said to support collagen production.

️ 5. Protects Against Environmental Stress

Maca may improve the skin’s resilience to UV exposure, pollution, and temperature changes, acting like a natural stress shield for your skin cells.

‍♀️ HAIR BENEFITS of Maca Root Extract

1. Stimulates Hair Growth

Maca improves scalp circulation and supports a healthy hormone balance, which are key for reducing hair shedding and encouraging hair regrowth.

2. Strengthens Hair

Thanks to its high nutrient content (especially iron, amino acids, and vitamins), maca can strengthen the hair shaft, reducing breakage and split ends.

️ 3. Reduces Hair Thinning

Hormonal imbalance is a common cause of thinning hair. Maca may help regulate DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss in both men and women), helping to prevent thinning and improve hair density.

‍♀️ 4. Improves Scalp Health

Whether used in a serum or shampoo, maca extract can help calm inflammation or dryness on the scalp, reducing itchiness or flakiness.
