Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract
What Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract is & what it does
Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract is a botanical extract derived from edelweiss, an alpine flowering plant. In cosmetics it is used as a plant-based active and is valued for its naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. It typically appears in moisturizers and protective skincare, including sunscreen formulas, as a soothing botanical component.
What does Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract do in skincare?
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract comes from bilberry and is used mainly as an antioxidant-leaning, conditioning botanical. Bilberry is well known for its naturally occurring polyphenols and anthocyanins, which give the extract its protective-leaning reputation.
Is Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract safe?
Bilberry extract is widely used in skincare and is generally considered safe at cosmetic levels. As with most botanicals, sensitive or allergy-prone skin can occasionally react, so a patch test is a reasonable precaution.
Is Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract vegan?
Yes, it is derived from the bilberry plant and contains no animal-derived material, so it is generally suitable for vegan products. The finished formula's status still depends on its other ingredients.
