Most of us had probably encountered cranberry seed oil or cranberry in some form before, either in a supplement or perhaps even cranberry juice, no judgements if alcohol was involved. I bet you never realised just how amazing this little 'super-berry' actually is. New studies are just coming out with evidence to prove how antioxidant-rich they are. They outrank every fruit and vegetable in the world when it comes to antioxidant value!
Antioxidants Of Cranberry Seed Oil
When it comes to skincare, antioxidants matter! That's because free radicals are the 'nasty, scavenger cells' in our skin that speed up our ageing processes and lead to skin damage such as pigmentation, loss of elasticity, wrinkles etc. Antioxidants defend your body from the damage and inflammation free radicals cause.
Cranberry Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seed of the Cranberry, meaning the extraction process does not damage the vitamins through heat extraction. It is a unique oil that contains:
-
- Very high essential fatty acids.
-
- Tocopherols and tocotrienols, vitamin E.
-
- Contains high amounts of phytosterols.
- Balanced 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega six essential fatty acids which give it excellent antioxidant activity and skin absorbency and delivery.
