What Is Rubus Chamaemorus Fruit Juice Extract?
Rubus Chamaemorus Fruit Juice Extract is derived from the cloudberry, a Nordic berry plant. The extract is obtained by pressing or extracting the fruit juice, which contains natural sugars, vitamins, and organic compounds. In skincare, it functions primarily as a humectant and skin conditioning agent.
As a humectant, this ingredient works to attract and retain water within the skin's outer layers, helping to maintain hydration. The extract may also provide mild antioxidant and soothing properties due to its natural composition, though these effects are modest compared to more concentrated actives.
How It Works
Rubus Chamaemorus Fruit Juice Extract contains natural humectants such as sugars and glycols that bind water molecules and draw them toward the outer layers of the skin. This hygroscopic action helps to plump the epidermis and improve skin feel.
The extract may also contain trace antioxidants and plant compounds that offer mild protective and conditioning benefits, though these are typically secondary to its primary humectant function.
Clinical Evidence & References
Published research specifically investigating Rubus Chamaemorus Fruit Juice Extract in skincare is limited. The ingredient is generally recognised as safe and well-tolerated, with a long history of use in Nordic cosmetics and traditional skincare.
Its hydrating and conditioning properties are consistent with what would be expected from a fruit juice extract containing natural sugars and plant compounds. However, robust clinical trials comparing efficacy to other humectants are not readily available. It is best viewed as a supportive hydrating ingredient rather than a targeted treatment.
How to Use
This ingredient works well in serums, essences, toners, and lightweight moisturisers where hydration is the primary goal. It can be layered with other hydrating ingredients and is generally compatible with actives such as niacinamide or glycolic acid. Apply to clean, damp skin for optimal hydration uptake.
