What Is Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea (Lingonberry) Fruit Extract?
Vaccinium vitis-idaea (lingonberry) fruit extract comes from a wild-growing Scandinavian-native berry that’s similar in nutrient profile and size with its plant “cousin”, blueberry. The bright red color of lingonberries is evidence of its different antioxidant compounds compared to blueberries, but both are great sources of polyphenols that defend skin against environmental damage.
