Beautiful Berries Abound in Skin Care

Bliss Snow Wonder introduced a body butter in November that is infused with the fresh fragrance of just-fallen flakes and the antioxidant power of arctic berry, vitamins A and E, and sodium hyaluronate, said to leave the skin smooth and shimmery.
Bath & Body Works Holiday Traditions Frosted Fun Cranberry was just introduced as a body cream. The sweet blend of cranberry, citrus and warm woods in this cream make the winter scent fresh and festive. It is said to nourish and soften even the driest skin with avocado oil, smoothing fruit enzymes, conditioning calendula and almond oils.
Berry seed oils have another key advantage. According to one ingredient supplier, many are both topical and edible. For example Arctic bilberry, cranberry, lingonberry, cloudberry, raspberry and strawberry seed oils can be used in skin care formulations and oral supplements for lightening skin and nourishing hair. Likewise sea buckthorn seed oil is invigorating and antiaging when applied to skin and taken orally. Moreover, several berry seed oils are available as certified organic actives. With this versatility, these Arctic berries are well-positioned to capitalize on the emerging beauty food trend.
