The beauty industry rolls out a lot of products that leave us scratching our heads in confusion, from weird gadgets to unusual ingredients. But some are so strange that we’re actually dying to try them—and when brands started incorporating caviar (yes, fish eggs) into their product lines, we just had to find out why.
Dermatologist Joel Schlesinger, MD, shared the skincare benefits of caviar with Xo Vain: “Researchers generally agree that its antioxidant properties help strengthen and protect skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Caviar has omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, two nutrients that are part of a healthy diet and promote luminous, balanced skin. It’s also thought to heal and prevent cellular inflammation and work alongside the skin’s natural processes, stimulating collagen production and minimizing surface wrinkles. Finally, caviar, like other marine ingredients, is known to be intensely moisturizing due to its cellular makeup. This just might be its most attractive quality.”
The bottom line is that caviar isn’t just a luxe hors d’oeuvre. It’s a booster for your skin’s health. Here, six caviar-infused products we think are worth a try.
