Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Similar to wild blueberry seed oil, this extract from cultivated highbush blueberry seeds is a modern cosmetic development. While the fruit has some traditional medicinal use, targeted seed oil extraction for skincare is a 21st-century innovation.
