The Science Behind Bruising
Bruising occurs when small blood vessels beneath the skin break, leading to blood pooling and causing the characteristic purple or blue marks. The body naturally works to heal these bruises by breaking down the blood, but this process can be slow, resulting in lingering discoloration and tenderness.

Arnica is a powerful flower extract
Known for its ability to reduce bruising and swelling. For centuries, it has been used to help bruises heal quicker. Science shows that Arnica can help speed up the recovery process by reducing the appearance of bruises after injury or surgery (Alonso, Lazarus & Baumann, 2002).
How It Helps: Arnica reduces the size and color of bruises.
Fun Fact: Arnica comes from a pretty yellow flower that grows in the mountains!
Bromelain is a natural enzyme
Found in pineapples that helps reduce swelling and inflammation. It works like a tiny cleaner, breaking down proteins in your body that cause puffiness after an injury or surgery (Maurer, 2001).
How It Helps: Bromelain is great at reducing swelling, helping your body recover faster from bruises.
Fun Fact: You can find bromelain in the stem of pineapples — yep, the part you don’t usually eat!
Hesperidin, found in oranges,
strengthens your blood vessels and reduces bruising by making your veins and capillaries tougher. It also fights inflammation, helping you heal faster (Arct & Pytkowska, 2008).
How It Helps: This ingredient helps prevent blood vessels from breaking, which means fewer bruises!
Fun Fact: Hesperidin comes from citrus fruits like oranges, giving you more than just a dose of vitamin C.
