Malachite is a precious gemstone that provides the skin with trace elements of zinc, copper, selenium, and manganese—all minerals that nourish and boost your skin’s overall health and resiliency. These minerals all act as antioxidants, which fight off the damage caused by free radicals that contribute to signs of aging like wrinkles, slack skin, and dark spots. This also means they increase collagen, elastin, and keratin production (three processes that naturally slow down as we age) which helps to plump, protect, and firm skin.
Malachite also increases the production of glutathione, which is called the “the master antioxidant”. This allows your skin cells to detox and protect your skin from oxidative damage—the kind of damage that can lead to a weakened skin barrier, breakouts, fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and more.
