What Is Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil?
Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil comes from the bilberry plant. Bilberry is one of the best sources of antioxidant compounds known as anthocyanins, polyphenolic chemicals that give bilberries their rich color.
Applied to skin, bilberry is known to boost skin’s defenses against environmental stressors. In particular, the seeds are noted as containing a high level of vitamin E.
