Description
Cranberry Oil, obtained by cold pressing the tiny seeds of Vaccinium Macrocarpon, is the only vegetable oil that possesses a perfectly balanced natural ratio (1:1) between Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids. This ideal proportion gives it an exceptional absorption capacity, rapidly penetrating the epidermis to deliver essential nutrients without leaving a greasy film.
Considered a "superfood" for the skin, this oil is distinguished by its high content of tocotrienols (a rare and extremely potent form of Vitamin E) and carotenoids. These antioxidants act synergistically to protect the skin against oxidative stress and photoaging, making it a top ingredient for mature, sensitive skin or skin exposed to urban pollution.

editor_choice Recommendations for use and Synergies
Facial care
Cranberry Oil is ideal for mature, dry or sensitive skin. Due to its light texture, it absorbs quickly and can be used even during the day, under sunscreen cream.
Practical recommendations
- Antioxidant day serum: Apply 2-3 drops to clean skin in the morning. Acts as a shield against pollution and UV rays (adjuvant).
- Eye contour: Massage the eye area to prevent fine lines ("crow's feet") and keep the skin supple.
- Post-sun treatment: Apply in the evening after sun exposure to soothe redness and repair oxidative damage.
Synergies in facial care
For anti-UV protection (adjuvant), it combines with Karanja Oil and Raspberry Oil. For mature skin, associate with Pomegranate Oil and Coenzyme Q10. For sensitive skin, add Bisabolol.
Hair care
It is a trusted ally for dyed hair, helping to maintain vibrant color by fighting oxidation. It also soothes irritated scalp and nourishes fine hair without weighing it down.
Practical recommendations
- Color protection: Add a few drops to hair conditioner or apply to damp hair as a leave-in treatment.
- Scalp serum: Massage sensitive or itchy scalp. Anti-inflammatory properties quickly soothe discomfort.
Synergies in hair care
For dyed hair, the ideal synergy is with Açaí Oil and Buriti Oil. For light hydration, combine with Broccoli Oil.
Body care
Recommended for anti-aging body lotions or after-sun care. Its fine texture makes it perfect for hand care, not being sticky.
Practical recommendations
- After-beach oil: Mix with Aloe Vera gel for a quick emulsion that cools and repairs sunburnt skin.
- Hand care: Massage hands daily to prevent pigment spots and premature skin aging.
Synergies in body care
For soothing effect, it combines with Calendula Oil and St. John's Wort Oil. For intense hydration, associate with Shea Butter.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does it smell like cranberries?
- It has a subtle, pleasant smell, combining discreet fruity notes with a hint of nut or fresh hay. It is not a sweet and strong smell like cranberry juice.
- Is it comedogenic?
- It has a low comedogenic rating (1-2). Due to the perfect balance of Omega 3 and 6, it is well tolerated by most skin types, including combination skin, without clogging pores.
- Does it replace SPF cream?
- No. Although it contains antioxidants that help skin resist UV damage, it does not have a measurable and certified sun protection factor (SPF). It must be used under an SPF cream.
Technical data, quality
Cranberry oil is unique due to its 1:1 Omega 3/Omega 6 lipid profile and rich content of vitamin E isomers.
The main active compounds are:
- Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): Approx. 30-35%. Strong anti-inflammatory.
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): Approx. 35-40%. Restores the skin barrier.
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Approx. 20-25%.
- Tocotrienols and Tocopherols (Vitamin E): Superior, stable antioxidants.
- Phytosterols (Beta-sitosterol): Soothe the skin and reduce redness.
Warnings, Safety data
General precautions
- Cosmetic product for external use. Do not ingest.
- Perform a skin patch test before use.
Safety in use
It is a very safe and mild oil, suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.
Storage, keeping
- Due to the exceptional content of natural Vitamin E, it is surprisingly stable to oxidation for an oil rich in Omega-3.
- Store in a cool place, away from light.

I really like the cranberry oil. I have always wished I had berry oils because they are powerful antioxidants and prevent sun damage to the skin. I apply it when the sun is strong outside.
