We’re all familiar with the concept of superfood. Packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, superfoods can be used to describe and classify any highly nutritious food. And some of the most commonly labelled superfoods include blueberry, salmon, acai and kale. In fact, the superfood phenomenon is so ingrained into us that it’s hard to imagine a trip to the gym without the option of purchasing a superfood smoothie or a superfood juice blend.

And then comes the skincare products, as superfoods found their way into creams and serums that promise us brighter, plumper and smoother skin. Even Sephora has a skin superfoods menu, which details the products that contain these skin-loving food as key ingredients. And so it’s finally time when they are the next big things in haircare.
