It contains antioxidants, fibers, vitamin C, hipthric acid, anthocyanin and carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonols, pectins, collagen and minerals.
The pigment that gives the blue color to the fruit (anthocyanin), intervenes in the human cellular metabolism decreasing the action of free radicals, associated with aging, cancer and other skin diseases. It has proven health benefits, including an antibiotic, antioxidant and desinflammatory effect.
Benefits to the Skin
Adding blueberry seed oil to skin care products provides strong anti-aging protection. Here are the details:
-
High antioxidant levels: One of the main reasons the skin ages is because of assault by free radicals from UV rays, pollution, other environmental elements, diet, and more. Antioxidants neutralize this damage, helping the skin to weather all sorts of stress and still retain its elasticity and glow. Put simply, these antioxidants help delay the aging process.
-
Vitamin E: This nutrient is also an antioxidant, but has been found in recent studies to be particularly important when it comes to slowing down aging in the skin. Certain types of vitamin E, called “tocotrienols” (which are plentiful in blueberry seed oil), have been found to be more potent than vitamin E itself in protecting against free radical attack. These nutrients also provide nourishing and moisturizing benefits.
-
Omega-3 fatty acids: These “healthy fats” are skin care powerhouses that not only reduce sun sensitivity, but help diminish inflammation associated with acne. When we don’t get enough fatty acids for the skin, we get problems like inflammation, dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne. Applying omega-3s to the skin, on the other hand, helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and helps prevent “thinning” of the skin.
-
Fast absorbing: This oil is light and greaseless, and absorbs quickly into skin, imparting a pleasant, sweet aroma.
-
Repairing: Blueberry seed oil is perfect for sensitive skin as it’s naturally restoring, helping to support cell and tissue repair. Blueberry is said to be a good ingredient for treating skin that has been damaged by chemotherapy and radiation burns, helping to speed up healing.
