Sambucus nigra fruit extract is derived from the berries of the elder plant, also known as elderberry. The extract contains tannins, which are responsible for its astringent effect and which create a tightening sensation on the skin. The deep purple color of the berries is caused by the antioxidant plant pigments called anthocyanins.
