Bilberry

Or Blåbär, as we say in Sweden. The direct translation is ‘blue berry’ and although closely related to the North American cultivated blueberry, our beloved wild bilberry – or European blueberry as it’s sometimes called – is a smaller, darker variety, packed with nutrients and natural antioxidants. We enjoy our bilberries fresh, frozen and cooked in delicious desserts all year round. Bilberries owe their sweet and juicy taste to their sugar content, which combined with vitamins, makes them a very good and moisturising skin care ingredient.

Shea butter

A moisturising powerhouse, shea butter is an ivory coloured natural fat, extracted from the shea tree’s nuts in its native Africa, where it’s been enjoyed as a beauty ingredient and cooking oil for thousands of years. The unctuous butter is a must-have ingredient in cosmetics today, thanks to its rich and intensely nourishing texture that is particularly compatible with our skin. In a cold climate like Sweden’s, shea butter’s exceptionally hydrating and restorative qualities are highly appreciated.

NAC

A form of Vitamin B3, also known by the name Nicotinamide, this is a true skin-enhancing all-rounder that plays a central role in DNA repair and helps restore cellular energy. With an impressive ability to reinforce the skin barrier (the outermost layer of your skin), it increases skin-essential ceramides, protects from external environmental damage and reduces loss of moisture.
