Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Nourishes & Protects
Traditional Use
Used in Scandinavian and North American traditional medicine for urinary and skin health. Contemporary skincare adopted cranberry for its high antioxidant content and potential skin-brightening properties.
