Cranberry fruit powder — a tart berry rich in proanthocyanidins and vitamin C that brightens and protects skin.
Vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) fruit powder is obtained from dried, ground cranberries. It is particularly rich in A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), vitamin C, quercetin, and anthocyanins. These compounds provide strong antioxidant activity and may help protect skin from environmental oxidative stress. The acidic nature (pH ~2.5) is significantly diluted in cosmetic formulations.
