Cranberry Extract

Cranberries are native to Europe, Asia and North America. They belong to the Vaccinium Macrocarpon family in the genus of blueberries, part of the heather family. Their fruits are a bright red and about the size of smaller cherries

Cranberries are found in skin care most often in the form of either an extract, where the fruit is crushed and steeped in a carrier liquid, or an oil, where the tiny seeds are cold pressed to obtain a golden yellow liquid.  The seeds themselves may also be used in skin care products to provide gentle exfoliation.

In skincare products, cranberry extract is often utilised for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective ingredient for calming and soothing irritated or sensitive skin. It can help reduce redness and alleviate conditions such as acne, rosacea, and eczema. Cranberry extract is also known for its skin brightening and toning abilities, helping to even out the skin tone and improve overall radiance. Moreover, cranberry extract contains natural acids that gently exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and clearer complexion. Its refreshing and revitalizing scent adds a pleasant sensory experience to skincare products.
