Saskatoon Berry Extract
Saskatoon berry extract is a gentle, antioxidant-rich botanical ingredient derived from the deep purple berries of the Amelanchier alnifolia shrub. Popular in clean and natural UK skincare, it delivers protective polyphenols and vitamins while helping to brighten and soothe the skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Saskatoon berry extract functions as a potent antioxidant thanks to its high levels of anthocyanins, flavonoids and phenolic acids. It helps shield the skin from environmental stressors, supports a more even complexion and provides a soothing effect that makes it a lovely addition to serums, creams and masks aimed at maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
