Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Tightens Pores
Antioxidant Protection
Reduces Inflammation
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Extracted from wild blueberry seeds, this oil is a modern cosmetic ingredient developed to capture the antioxidant benefits of the fruit. Blueberries themselves have traditional use in indigenous and folk medicine, but seed oil extraction is a contemporary practice.
