Blackberry
Blackberry is a juicy, antioxidant-rich fruit extract commonly used in British skincare and beauty products for its protective and brightening qualities. Packed with vitamins and polyphenols, it helps shield skin from environmental stressors while delivering a natural, fruity scent and gentle nourishment. You'll find it in moisturisers, serums, masks and lip balms.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, blackberry extract and blackberry seed oil function as antioxidant agents and skin-conditioning ingredients. The fruit is rich in anthocyanins, vitamin C and ellagic acid that help neutralise free radicals generated by urban pollution and UV exposure, while the cold-pressed seed oil supplies essential fatty acids and vitamin E to support the skin’s moisture barrier and softness. Its natural astringent properties give a mild toning effect, making it a popular addition to creams, serums and rinse-off treatments designed for daily defence and glow.
