Blueberry - 100% Natural Essential Oil 10ml

Blueberry oil (Vaccinium myrtillus) 10ml

Blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus), also known as European blueberries, are a type of edible berry that grows mainly in northern Europe, but is also found in Asia, Canada and parts of the USA.

Blueberries have been used for centuries both medicinally and as food. They are a key part of traditional European medicine and are widely used to treat gastrointestinal and vision problems, as well as diabetes and high cholesterol.

Blueberries are known for their high content of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids and powerful antioxidants (especially anthocyanins - responsible for the berries' dark blue colour). In addition, blueberries are exceptional because they have an optimal omega 3:omega 6 ratio that not many berries have.

BENEFITS OF USING THE OIL

Blueberry oil is extracted from the seeds of the berry. It is used in the skin care industry as a skin conditioning and anti-aging agent due to its powerful regenerative and restorative properties.

Because the antioxidant content of blueberry oil is very high (especially tocopherols and carotenoids), when applied to the skin it has the potential to neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing damage and slowing the aging process.

Blueberry oil is great for soothing dry and irritated skin. Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are very useful when it comes to restoring the skin's lipid barrier and its integrity. Although blueberry oils are very nourishing, at the same time it is relatively light and absorbs into the skin very quickly, making it ideal for acne prone skin.
