Additional Information

Cranberries, including cranberry oil, have a naturally high antioxidant property. A high concentration of antioxidants is critical for continuous protection from the elements for an entire day. Cranberry oil is the most unsaturated oil on the market, meaning that it has the most moisturizing properties of any oil. Cranberry oil is unique, because when combined with its naturally high antioxidant properties, it is a stable oil with astounding properties.

Cranberry oil is the only oil with a naturally balanced 1:1 Omega-3 and Omega-6 profile. This type of profile is critically important for absorption and use of essential fatty acids in the skin. Research has shown that high concentration of Omega 3 feed the skin. But when combined with a balanced Omega6 profile, the absorption and use of Omega-3 is dramatically enhanced. There is not a single other oil on the market that can provide a 1:1 balanced Omega profile.

Cranberry seed oil contains every component of vitamin E, and is a potent source of important antioxidants including tocotrienol also known as "super vitamin E". Topically applied tocotrienol has been clinically proven to accumulate in the upper five microns of skin, improving moisture retention. Cranberry seed oil is light and non-greasy on the skin and easily penetrates the skin. It contains also minerals that are beneficial to the skin and hair such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.

It can be used in moisturizing lip balms, mother-to-be belly balms, creams, lotions, face and under eye creams etc. This oil may aid in the relief of itchy, scaly, irritated skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

In hair care products, Cranberry seed oil can help protect the hair from UV rays and pollutants. It may help to preserve hair cleanliness and health, making hair brighter and stronger.
