Summary for Patent: 8,828,458
Title:Topical macqui berry formulation
Abstract: The present invention provides a topical formulation and method of use where the formulation comprises macqui berry or a macqui berry extract containing anthocyanins having a very high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). The formulation provides the macqui berry in a stabilized form which includes a glucuronide or glycuronide, a photostabilizing agent, encapsulation, or light- and/or air-blocking packaging.
Inventor(s): Morariu; Marius (Brooklyn, NY)
Assignee:
