About VACCINIUM OXYCOCCOS FRUIT WATER
Cranberry fruit water — a gentle botanical distillate that adds a light antioxidant touch and soft skin feel. Well tolerated at cosmetic use levels.
Detailed Analysis
Vaccinium oxycoccos fruit water is the aqueous distillate from cranberry fruit. It functions mainly as a solvent/carrier with mild skin-conditioning character, contributing trace aromatic and polyphenolic compounds. Because it is a plant water rather than a concentrated extract, systemic toxicity at normal use is not a concern. The main practical risk is low-level sensitisation or irritation in fragrance-reactive skin, driven by trace volatiles. No EU Annex II/III restriction applies to the species. Composition varies with harvest and distillation, so standardisation is the main formulation caveat.
