2 Nordic Oils That Give the Lip Serum Its Hero Status

Lush. Silky. Smooth. Your lips will be delighted with these refreshing sensations after using the Lip Serum, and we have a plethora of incredible ingredients to thank for that. But today we're going to highlight the two ultimate superstar ingredients in the Lip Serum: Arctic Cloudberry Seed Oil and Lingonberry Seed Oil.

What makes these two oils so special? Find out why below.


Arctic Cloudberry Seed Oil

If your lips are in need of a youthful boost, look no further than the exquisite arctic cloudberry seed oil, or cloudberry oil for short. These vibrant berries primarily grow in the distant arctic and alpine regions, but they're actually a popular delicacy in Sweden. Although extremely difficult to cultivate, cloudberries can survive in temperatures as low as -40°C. The resilience of the cloudberry is of one of many reasons why cloudberry oil is so potent and beneficial for the lips and skin.

Now let's get to the nitty gritty of what this oil is comprised of. Cloudberry oil contains an incredibly high amount of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, making it a phenomenal lip care ingredient. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin C helps brighten, firm and plump the lips. Vitamin C also reduces the appearance of lip and skin discoloration while it improves hydration and moisture.

Next is ellagic acid, another antioxidant found in cloudberry oil. This natural occurring substance is said to have some seriously powerful effects. Ellagic acid helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles caused by UV radiation, plus it gives the lips a brighter, firmer and more youthful look.

Last but not least: omega-3 and omega-6. These impressive fatty acids only add to cloudberry oil's trove of benefits and will have you saying "Omega! I love this!" (sorry; couldn't help myself). Omega-3 acids help the skin retain moisture and maintain its elasticity, while omega-6 nourishes and protects the skin's barrier and restores its youthful glow.


Lingonberry Seed Oil

Lingonberries are commonly used in jams and jellies in Sweden. They're also brimming with antioxidants and amazing phytochemicals. This powerhouse oil works wonders on nourishing, smoothening, and brightening the skin and lips.

Lingonberry oil houses the antioxidant gamma-tocotrienol, a natural Vitamin E (not to be confused with tocopherol which is also a part of the Vitamin E family). Tocotrienol has been shown to help protect skin from environmental stress.

This marvelous oil also contains a phytochemical called arbutin, which assists in creating an even-toned appearance, giving skin and lips that bright, dewy sheen.

Similar to arctic cloudberry, lingonberry oil also contains a high level of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. This combination gives your lips that covetable soft and supple appearance.
