What Is Cranberry Seed Oil?
Cranberry seed oil has earned well-deserved attention for its skin-beneficial omega fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. Additionally, it helps soften and soothe skin, while improving hydration/moisture retention.
Unlike fragrant essential oils, cranberry seed oil is fragrance-free, making it safe and non-irritating for skin. It can be used in pure, 100% concentration, which has a natural golden-to-yellow color.
