VACCINIUM MACROCARPON
CRANBERRY SEED OIL
Cranberry seed oil is derived from the tiny seeds of the cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon), predominantly native to North America. Historically, cranberries have been revered not just as a dietary staple but also for their therapeutic value by indigenous tribes like the Native Americans. The oil pressed from cranberry seeds has been recognized for its unique balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, which makes it an exceptional moisturizer and emollient for the skin. Holistically, cranberry seed oil is believed to promote harmony and balance, with its vibrant hue mirroring the life force and vitality it offers. The oil is packed with antioxidants, including tocopherols and tocotrienols, which are forms of Vitamin E, and other phytonutrients that protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental pollutants. These antioxidants also aid in combating signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, the oil's natural sun protection factor (SPF) properties make it a preferred choice in sun care formulations. When it comes to health benefits, cranberry seed oil can support cardiovascular health, due to its rich fatty acid content, and also plays a role in promoting healthy hair and nails. Its lightweight texture ensures that it is easily absorbed, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetic formulations, serums, and facial oils.
