Hibiscus powder — rich in anthocyanin antioxidants (the deep-red pigments) that help defend collagen from breakdown; adds a lovely tart flavor.
Moringa powder — brings minerals and a spread of amino acids, the actual bricks collagen is built from, alongside more antioxidants.
Ceylon cinnamon (optional) — for flavor, and its antioxidants may gently support steadier blood sugar, which matters because sugar spikes damage collagen through a process called glycation.
Optional booster: a small spoon of camu camu or acerola powder — two of the highest vitamin C fruits in the world — if you want to push the vitamin C content higher.
The recipe: your DIY glow powder
Makes about one month’s supply
6 tablespoons amla powder
4 tablespoons rosehip powder
3 tablespoons hibiscus powder
3 tablespoons moringa powder
1 tablespoon Ceylon cinnamon (optional)
1–2 tablespoons camu camu or acerola powder (optional booster)
Method:
Add everything to a clean, dry bowl.
Whisk thoroughly until the color is even and there are no streaks.
Funnel into a clean, airtight glass jar.
Store somewhere cool, dark, and dry — away from sunlight and heat, both of which degrade vitamin C.
