It is a circumpolar plant, meaning it exists in the arctic and subarctic of the northern hemisphere. It belongs to the family of the rose species, which also contains, cherries, apples, pears, almonds and roses.
Cloudberry contains high levels of vitamin C, flavonoids such as ellagic acid which helps preserve the fruit if it is stored in cool temperatures. It also contains citric acid, malic acid.
It has antioxidant and sun-protective properties. Word of caution: even though it may have sun- protective properties, it is not tested by the stringent rules that calculate SPF and you still need your sunscreen to prevent photoaging and extrinsic (and unnecessary) damage to your skin.
Cloudberry oil is recommended for people with sensitive, dry, irritated skin. It is regenerative due to its high concentration of linoleic and linolenic acids. Cloudberry oil is excellent for stressed skin.
