Vaccinium Corymbosum Fruit Extract

Vaccinium corymbosum fruit extract is derived from cultivated blueberries and contains a concentrated profile of polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins and flavonoids. These compounds are responsible for the fruit's characteristic deep colour and antioxidant properties.In skincare formulations, this extract functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent. It is typically incorporated into serums, moisturisers, and masks where it can help support the skin's natural defence systems and contribute to overall skin health.

The extract works primarily through its high concentration of anthocyanins and other polyphenolic compounds. These molecules have antioxidant properties, meaning they can help neutralise free radicals—unstable molecules that can contribute to skin ageing and damage when accumulated.When applied topically, the extract deposits these protective compounds onto the skin surface and potentially into upper skin layers, where they may help support the skin's natural defence mechanisms against oxidative stress.

This ingredient works well as part of a broader skincare routine focused on antioxidant protection. It is typically used daily in serums or moisturisers. Because it is a plant extract, formulation and stability can vary between products, so follow the instructions provided by the brand. It pairs well with other antioxidants such as vitamin C or vitamin E, though layering multiple potent actives should be introduced gradually to monitor tolerance.

Vaccinium corymbosum fruit extract is generally well-tolerated across skin types. Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible in individuals with sensitivity to berries or other botanical extracts.
