About VACCINIUM MYRTILLUS FRUIT WATER
Bilberry fruit water — a gentle hydrosol from steam-distilling blueberry-like berries. Rich in antioxidants and pleasantly refreshing for skin.
Detailed Analysis
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Water is the aqueous distillate obtained by steam distillation of the fruit of Vaccinium myrtillus L. (Ericaceae), the European bilberry. Bilberries are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins and phenolic compounds with potent antioxidant activity. The hydrosol retains water-soluble antioxidant compounds at low concentrations. Used as a skin conditioning agent and natural aqueous phase in formulations. Bilberry extracts are well-studied for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective properties. No GHS hazards, no EU restrictions.
