VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM (COLD PRESSED BLUEBERRY) SEED OIL
Berries in general are rich in phenolic molecules and known to be wonderful antioxidants. Blueberry is no different. In addition to that, it contains significant levels of linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) essential fatty acids that the body can not produce itself. Coupled with the high concentrations of tocopherols and carotenoids, blueberry seed oil is a treat to the skin as it is to the body.
Our blueberry oil is cold-pressed from and retains the refreshing natural aroma of the fruit.
Uses:
- Protects skin against environmental stressors
- Emollient
- Protects transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
