Science
The humble cranberry is surprisingly a superfood. The benefits of cranberry extract are impressive and lengthy, including being a powerhouse of antioxidants — it contains one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of any vegetable or fruit (even more than broccoli and spinach). They’re also an incredible source of vitamins and minerals, like Vitamins C, E, K, and manganese. Cranberry extract boosts radiance on the surface by sloughing off dead skin cells, while also strengthening the barrier function, giving it the look of collagen-rich skin. Cranberry extract can also address the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and deep wrinkles, providing significant wrinkle reduction benefits.
History
Cranberries are indigenous to the North American continent, originally found growing in peat bogs and marshes. While cranberries have been used as food for thousands of years, the superfruit has also been used as a medicinal ingredient to treat infections and boost overall health. Today, cranberries are still wild-harvested and the fruit signifies its ripeness by floating on the water’s surface.
Provenance
TATCHA’s cranberry extract is sourced from a company that is committed to sustainable and responsible practices. To extract the fruit, an innovative process called eco-extraction is utilized, which reduces energy consumption and waste. This process also preserves the ingredient’s quality, allowing the superfruit cranberry to maintain its potency and benefits. This eco-extraction allows the cranberry extract to be upcycled, utilizing this vital part of the fruit commonly discarded.
