Cranberry seed oil is a newcomer to the world of face oils and it is gaining recognition for its exceptional properties in natural skincare. Previously, cranberry seeds were treated as the leftovers of cranberry fruit juice production. However, in 1992, a process was developed to extract the oil from the tiny seeds of the tart berries through cold-pressing. It takes approximately 31 pounds of cranberries to produce just half an ounce of cranberry seed oil, which is a lot of cranberries!
This super fruit oil is one of the star ingredients in our holistic face serum and it's worth it’s weight in gold for its unique and potent skin benefits.
Cranberry seed oil is unique because of its balanced ratio of omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids. It is the only oil with such an equal ratio of fatty acids, giving it exceptional skin nurturing benefits. This balanced ratio is what helps its nutrients absorb beautifully into the skin, leaving it intensely hydrated, but not feeling greasy. The deep absorption also means that your skin can really reap the benefits of all the powerful antioxidants, phytonutrients, and skin improving vitamins including A, C, E and K. Tocotrienols and tocopherols are two of the most potent forms of Vitamin E, which can help protect skin from environmental stressors. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, has many benefits for the skin, including anti-aging, reduced acne and hyperpigmentation, improved skin texture and tone, protects agains sun damage, smooths skin, and encourages cell growth for a more youthful complexion. Vitamin C helps to fight free radicals, protects against sun damage, reduces wrinkles, improves tone and texture, boosts collagen, and brightens the complexion. Vitamin K reduces inflammation, helps to treat acne scars and rosacea, reduces the signs of aging and improves the skin’s overall appearance. Cranberry seed oil is truly a vitamin infusion for your skin, in it’s purest form.
