Cranberry Seed Oil

Cranberry Seed Oil is a rare and luxurious botanical oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). It is unique in the plant kingdom because it is the only oil to possess a perfectly balanced 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 essential fatty acids. In addition to this balance, it is the richest known natural source of Tocotrienols - a rare and potent form of Vitamin E that is 40–60 times more effective at neutralizing free radicals than the standard Vitamin E (tocopherols) found in most other oils.

We are not just a reseller; we are the producer. Here is why our oil stands apart:

• Proprietary Cold-Pressing: We press the seeds ourselves in small fresh batches at temperatures strictly kept below 120°F. This preserves the delicate fatty acids and heat-sensitive phytosterols that are often destroyed in mass-market, high-heat processing.
• Unrefined Purity: Our oil is never bleached, deodorized, or winterized. It retains its natural golden-green hue and subtle nutty aroma, ensuring you get the full "living" profile of the seed.
• US-Grown Integrity: We source our seeds exclusively from US growers (including Wisconsin and the Pacific Northwest) and process them entirely at our Vashon Island facility. We do not blend our oils with imported or lower-quality batches.

While oils like Coconut or Olive oil can be heavy and sit on top of the skin, Cranberry Seed Oil is renowned for its absorption. Because of its 1:1 Omega ratio, it mimics the skin’s natural lipid barrier, allowing it to penetrate deeply and rapidly without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it a superior "delivery system" for carrying other active ingredients into the skin. Furthermore, its Tocotrienol content ("Super Vitamin E") provides a level of antioxidant protection against environmental stress and aging that standard carrier oils simply cannot match.

Cranberry Seed Oil is a multi-functional powerhouse:

• Anti-Aging & Collagen Support: The high concentration of antioxidants helps fight oxidative stress (a leading cause of aging) and supports natural collagen production for firmer skin.
• Deep Hydration: Its balanced fatty acid profile strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, locking in hydration.
• Soothing & Calming: Rich in phytosterols, it helps inhibit inflammation, making it excellent for calming red, irritated, or reactive skin.
• Brightening: Regular use helps even out skin tone and brighten a dull complexion.

Yes. Because it is lightweight and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), it is safe for acne-prone and oily skin. However, its deep nourishing capabilities make it equally effective for dry, mature, and sensitive skin. It is truly a "universal" oil.

While Cranberry Seed Oil is rich in phytosterols and antioxidants that help the skin recover from sun damage and environmental stress, we do not market it as a replacement for SPF. It is an excellent addition to a sun-care routine (applied under sunscreen or after sun exposure) to help neutralize the free radicals caused by UV rays.

Yes. As a virgin, unrefined oil, it carries a mild, pleasant aroma often described as nutty with subtle fruity undertones. This scent is natural and dissipates quickly after application.

Store your oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Due to its high antioxidant content, Cranberry Seed Oil is naturally stable. It typically has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture, but we recommend using it within 12 months of opening for optimal freshness.

While our Cranberry Seed Oil is produced in a food-grade facility using food-safe standards, this specific product is packaged and marketed solely for cosmetic use.
