Antioxidant Defence

Cranberry

Summary

Cranberry extract, used in our formulas as an antioxidant. We hold no study for it, only an EU ingredient listing of its antioxidant role and its composition, so this entry makes no claim about what it does on skin.

Guard in the formula

Cranberry sits in our formulas for one job: defending skin against everyday environmental stress. We file it under Antioxidant Defence in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says what our record for it holds.

Guard in the tannin

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Guard in the evidence

Our record reads: CosIng antioxidant / composition (proanthocyanidins). Where we cannot point to a specific study we say so, rather than implying one exists.

Guard and its limits

The research behind Cranberry studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
