Say hello to Arctic Cloudberry. Our Scandi neighbours love its distinctive tart taste and thanks to its ability to retain moisture levels even in sub-zero conditions you’ll find it in a number of luxury skincare products. So let’s explore this golden, winter berry and its superhero status.
What exactly is Arctic Cloudberry?
It’s a rare berry that flourishes in the harshest winter environments. Its unique qualities, such as having three times the vitamin C content of oranges make it highly sought after in Scandinavian countries, not just to eat but also as a medicine thanks to its healing qualities. Arctic Cloudberry is used to treat burns and skin diseases, due to the hydration and moisture it will impart when used on the epidermis.
How will it help my skin?
Arctic Cloudberries contain Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids which are crucial for healthy, soft skin. Most fruits lack these, which makes this fruit rather unique! Packed with vitamins C, E and A which act as antioxidants to neutralise toxins and protect skin cells from breaking down, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to this trio of vitamins this arctic fruit can maintain its moisture levels surviving in remote, freezing climates making this a true hero for dry and dehydrated skin as it will hydrate, plump and protect skin cells.
Where can I find this superhero skincare ingredient?
You don’t need to be an arctic explorer to feed your skin with this super-hydrating berry. You’ll find it in a number of Balance Me’s cleansers, moisturisers and body products. The arctic fruit can be found in Balance Me’s Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm, Moisture Rich Face Cream, Rose Otto Face Oil and Rose Otto Body Cream.
