Benefits: Cranberry seed oil offers a balanced blend of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids (omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids (EFAs)) not available in other natural vegetable oils. It is also rich in both Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and Vitamin A. These help nourish the skin, reduce the signs of aging, and may help eczema, psoriasis and scarring.

Cranberry seed oil offers antioxidant protection, skin conditioning and restructuring, encourages enhanced cellular function, aids in the skin’s absorption and utilization of EFAs, is an exceptional skin moisturizer and helps to tighten the skin. Due to the high level of Vitamin A, it is a good choice for acne or blemished skin.

It is quickly gaining recognition as a choice ingredient in hair care formulations intended to heal, strengthen and moisturize hair and scalp.
