Cranberries: not just for your festive drinks. These little berries are bursting with antioxidants, vitamins, and natural acids that work overtime to keep your complexion looking its best. Cranberry seed oil, found in the Living Beauty Oil & Living Beauty Eye Roller, is rich in bioactive compounds that offer several benefits when incorporated into skincare products:
The Benefits
- Antioxidant Properties: Cranberries contain high levels of phenolic compounds, Including proanthocyanidins, which help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress on the skin.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The anti-inflammatory properties of cranberry polyphenols can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
- Collagen Support: Cranberry extract is rich in antioxidants that support collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity.
- Hydration and Barrier Function: The nutrients in cranberries play key roles in maintaining healthy cell membranes, which may lead to supple, hydrated skin.
- Anti-Glycation Activity: Cranberry polyphenols have been shown to inhibit collagen glycation, a process that can lead to skin aging, thereby helping to maintain skin's youthful appearance.
In short, cranberry-derived ingredients found in skincare formulas can provide antioxidant protection, anti-inflammatory benefits, and support for skin structure and hydration.
