Cranberry Seed oil: You may already know that cranberries are good for you. They’re considered one of the fruits that are particularly high in antioxidants, which can be key in protecting the body from many of our modern-day diseases.

This antioxidant capability also makes cranberries useful in skin care, as they can protect the skin from environmental stressors. What’s really exciting about cranberry seed oil, however, is that it is the only oil we know of so far that has a perfect ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, which means that it absorbs super well into the skin, giving you great hydration. It also means your skin is more likely to absorb the potent antioxidants, Vitamin E, and other nutrients in the oil.

Cranberry seeds used to be discarded with the berry’s pulp, but now we use them when making soaps and facial scrubs, as they provide gentle exfoliating action. The seeds can also be cold pressed to extract the oil, which produce golden or yellow oil with a fruity aroma.

Cranberry seed oil contains a variety of nutrients and compounds that provide benefits to the skin. The main benefit of this oil, however, is its ability to absorb so well. Here’s a glance at some of the nutrients and their benefits:

• Tocotrienols and tocopherols: These are forms of vitamin E that act as strong antioxidants, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. They also work as natural preservatives.
• Fatty acids: Cranberry contains omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 essential fatty acids, the only oil with a natural ratio of the three. This means the oil can moisturize like no other oil can because it absorbs so well into the skin. This moisturizing power is also said to be perfect for aging, rough, dry, and scaly skin.
• Antioxidants: The powerful antioxidants in cranberry oil help protect the skin against environmental stressors. Because they’re absorbed so well, they are even more effective.

These unique nutrients working together also provide anti-aging effects, helping to protect the skin from the elements, while moisturizing and strengthening, helping firm and tighten your look. In other words, if you’re seeing dull, dry, sagging, skin, this unique oil is the perfect for you.
