It looks like Ben and Jerry want to create an ice cream with skin benefits rather than just adding to the waistline. The quirky brand has announced they are teaming up with scientists from Ampere Life Sciences Inc to whip up an ice cream containing wrinkle-busting antioxidants and enzymes.

The scientists at ALS specialise in developing foods targeting antioxidant deficiencies, and Uniliver the company that own Ben & Jerry’s will have exclusive rights to all the inventions they mastermind. The top secret research is already underway but ELLE is told it's likely to be five years before we can get our hands on the goods.

Until they perfect the ultimate wrinkle busting cream (every girl’s dream) - I will be loading up on my own home made concoction of yoghurt and berries which are bursting with anti-oxidants.
