About VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM FRUIT
Blueberry fruit — a polyphenol-rich botanical prized for antioxidant support. Generally well tolerated at cosmetic use levels.
Detailed Analysis
Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush blueberry) fruit is a food-grade botanical used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant ingredient. Active constituents include anthocyanins (notably delphinidin and cyanidin glycosides), flavonols, vitamin C, and phenolic acids, all of which scavenge reactive oxygen species in vitro. It appears in serums, masks and leave-on creams, usually as a juice, powder or extract at sub-1% levels. Listed in the EU CosIng inventory with skin-conditioning and antioxidant functions; no SCCS restrictions. Allergy is rare but possible in berry-sensitive individuals. Evidence is moderate — strong in-vitro antioxidant data, limited controlled clinical trials on topical blueberry specifically.
