If you’ve spent years curating your skin care routine, but you just use whatever body lotion you have on hand, you’re missing out. Body care might not get the same glory, but it still requires the same love and care as you give to the skin on your face. Brazilian beauty brand, Nativa Spa, was created with this in mind, and has developed a full range of plant-based body care products that’s vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainably conscious (the brand uses recyclable packaging, practices carbon-neutral shipping, and is a member of the UN Global Compact).

Just in time for spring, Nativa Spa has introduced its Acerola Cherry collection. Rather than solely use the fruit to fragrance the line, the brand has infused its mix of body moisturizers and gentle exfoliators with acerola cherry fruit extract for its antioxidant benefits. Plus, given that Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of acerola cherries in the world, it makes sense that Nativa Spa would embrace its roots with the vitamin C-rich fruit. To learn more about how the superfruit works with Nativa Spa’s other tried-and-true ingredients, keep scrolling for all of the details on the four-piece collection.

Nativa Spa Acerola Cherry Renewing Body Butter

Thicker than a lotion, but with a non-greasy finish, this rich body butter is perfect for applying to your skin just before bed. In addition to moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and the brand’s signature quinoa oil (more on that later), the body butter counts acerola cherry fruit extract and fermented fruit enzymes as its hero ingredients. Because acerola cherries are one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, they’re thought to offer brightening and collagen-boosting benefits. The cherries are also packed with antioxidants that can help fight the cell damage caused by exposure to factors like the sun, pollution, and stress.

Nativa Spa Acerola Cherry Renewing Body Scrub

Whether you want to prep ahead of shaving or applying a fake tan, or you just want to buff away rough patches for smoother skin overall, this Acerola Cherry Body Scrub is the answer. A combination of lactic acid and quartz powder works to loosen dead skin cells and increase cell turnover. Plus, the lactic acid allows for the brightening acerola cherry extract and moisturizing quinoa oil to better penetrate the skin.

Nativa Spa Acerola Cherry Renewing Body Serum

For a moisturizer that feels lighter than a body butter, but still delivers a highly concentrated blend of active ingredients, there’s Nativa Spa’s silky and fast-absorbing body serum. As with all of the products from the collection, acerola cherry fruit extract and fermented fruit enzymes are included in here, as is quinoa oil, which has been central to Nativa Spa’s products from the start. According to the brand’s studies, quinoa oil is capable of visibly improving skin firmness and evenness after 28 days of consistent use, thanks to its antioxidant and omega properties.

Nativa Spa Acerola Cherry Renewing Body Oil

And when your skin is feeling especially dry, try layering this body oil over the serum or body butter mentioned earlier. Not only does it help to further nourish the skin with castor seed and argan oils, but it also seals in all of the moisture from your first product for a longer-lasting effect. Like the rest of the Acerola Cherry collection, the body oil mixes the fruity scent with soft florals like jasmine and orange blossom, as well as warmer notes of amber and vanilla.
