Cranberry Seed Oil (Cold Pressed)

INCI: Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oil 

Cranberry Seed Oil (Cold Pressed)
Cold-pressed cranberry seed oil typically has a light yellow to pale green hue and has a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs easily into the skin. The oil can have a mild, slightly fruity scent, though it is quite subtle.
Cranberry seed oil is notable for its balanced ratio of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, as well as its high antioxidant content.

The typical fatty acid profile includes:
•    Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): ~35-40%
•    Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) (Omega-3): ~30-35%
•    Oleic Acid (Omega-9): ~20-25%
•    Palmitic Acid: ~3-6%
•    Stearic Acid: ~1-3%
This balanced fatty acid profile makes cranberry seed oil highly nourishing and beneficial for skin health, particularly for moisturising and protecting the skin.

Cranberry seed oil is extracted from the seeds of cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon). The seeds are collected from the cranberry fruit, often as a byproduct of the juice or food industry. The seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil, preserving its high levels of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Cranberry seed oil provides deep hydration, making it ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin. Rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E and tocotrienols, cranberry seed oil helps protect the skin from oxidative stress. Its balanced omega fatty acids can help in improving overall skin health and resilience. Cranberry seed oil can be used to nourish the scalp, helping to reduce dryness and add moisture and shine to hair, leaving it smooth, soft, and more manageable. The oil is often used in lip balms due to its hydrating and protective properties. Cranberry seed oil can be applied to nails and cuticles to moisturise and protect.
