Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil is an oil derived from bilberry seeds, often considered an “upcycled” raw material because it comes from a byproduct of the food industry. Its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids is particularly interesting in cosmetics because these lipids are involved in the mechanisms that support the skin barrier function and help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Specifically, the presence of omega-6 (linoleic acid) is relevant because it supports processes that help maintain the lipid balance of the stratum corneum, promoting lip comfort and softness.
Thanks to its balanced lipid profile, this active ingredient is suitable for formulations designed for dry or stressed skin and lips, where maintaining skin wellness and a comfortable feeling is a priority.
