Arctic lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) is a small, intensely flavoured berry found across Finland and Scandinavia — one of the most antioxidant-rich plants in the Nordic botanical tradition. Lingonberry seed oil is exceptionally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in an ideal ratio for skin health, as well as vitamin E, carotenoids and polyphenols.
In skincare, lingonberry helps protect the skin barrier from oxidative stress, supports collagen synthesis and delivers deep antioxidant protection. The unique fatty acid profile makes it particularly effective for dry and mature skin types. Like other Nordic botanicals, its potency comes from growing in extreme conditions that force the plant to concentrate its protective compounds.
