What Is Cloudberry and Why It Matters in Skincare
Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) is one of the Arctic’s most remarkable botanical discoveries. Native to Scandinavia’s tundra and boreal wetlands, it thrives where few plants can survive. Each golden berry develops under long daylight cycles and extreme temperatures, accumulating exceptional levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
This resilience makes cloudberry one of the most potent natural skincare ingredients. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and ellagic acid, it helps defend skin against oxidative stress while restoring radiance and balance.
Proven Benefits of Cloudberry for the Skin
1. Deep Hydration and Barrier Repair
Cloudberry seed oil is rich in omegas that reinforce the skin’s lipid layer, reducing water loss and improving overall moisture retention. It leaves skin smooth, hydrated, and supple without residue.
2. Brightening and Tone Correction
With vitamin C levels up to four times higher than in oranges, cloudberry extract helps fade dullness, promote even tone, and boost natural luminosity. It is especially beneficial for tired or environmentally stressed skin.
3. Advanced Antioxidant Defense
Polyphenols and ellagic acid combat free-radical damage caused by pollution, sun exposure, and stress. Over time, these antioxidants reduce visible signs of aging and support firmer, healthier-looking skin.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Support
Cloudberry’s naturally soothing compounds calm redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin. It delivers the benefits of an active botanical without the harshness of synthetic acids.
How Cloudberry Aligns with VAHNAI’s Clean-Science Philosophy
At VAHNAI, each formula bridges nature and biotechnology. Cloudberry perfectly embodies this dual approach: a wild-harvested Nordic fruit supported by measurable clinical efficacy. Its protective and restorative profile aligns with our commitment to skin health, transparency, and performance.
This approach also inspired our Copenhagen Cranberry Glycolic Acid Liquid Exfoliator — a precision AHA treatment that refines texture, brightens tone, and prepares skin to absorb moisture-rich botanicals like cloudberry. Together, exfoliation and hydration create an essential cycle of renewal.
