Wild northern plants have an extremely powerful healing potential because they contain more nutrients than plants that don’t have to survive in harsh climatic conditions. Cloudberry, native to alpine tundra, arctic tundra and boreal forest, is one of such plants. Granny Agafia’s Recipes, a well-known Russian beauty brand, presents its Agafia’s Cloudberry series formulated with organic cloudberry juice and extract.
Cloudberry is rich in vitamins, organic acids (such as malic acid and citric acid), minerals, tannins and pectin. Due to its high vitamin C content, cloudberry is valued by Northern indigenous peoples for its ability to prevent scurvy. The berry is also rich in polyphenols that act as natural preservatives. Cloudberry juice and cloudberry oil contain all the useful substances found in fresh cloudberries and therefore are widely used as cosmetic ingredients in shampoos, hair conditioners, creams and other products.
The inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East have been using cloudberry leaves, roots and berries to cure various diseases and in personal care for centuries. Cloudberry has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. It is also known for its healing and antioxidant properties. When used as a cosmetic ingredient, cloudberry moisturises and nourishes skin and hair, accelerates the healing of minor skin injuries, prevents premature skin ageing.
