The Superman of antioxidants, this tiny berry, which hails from a specific type of palm tree in the Amazon, boasts a resume of seriously impressive powers. The most intriguing to the beauty world is its skin-saving capabilities. "Açaí is what grape seed was to skincare ten years ago," says Scott Vincent Borba, president and founder of Borba Neutracueticals, one of the first companies to include açaí in their products.
