FSS Bearberry Extract SNO

With its roots in ancient Greek and Latin naming traditions, Uva Ursi—commonly known as bearberry—has long been associated with nature’s wild beauty and therapeutic potential. Named for the bears that once feasted on its tart fruit, the plant has also earned regional monikers such as mountain cranberry, sandberry, and rockberry.

Beyond its folklore charm, the true power of bearberry lies in its leaves, which are rich in botanical compounds that offer cosmetic benefits. Traditionally used for their astringent and purifying properties, bearberry leaves are now prized in skincare for their ability to help fade discoloration and improve skin clarity.

FSS Bearberry Extract harnesses this legacy in a water-soluble format ideal for brightening and balancing formulations. It is naturally rich in arbutin—a compound known to reduce melanin production—making it a go-to choice for products targeting sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven tone.

Additionally, this multi-tasking extract helps soothe the skin while acting as a natural antioxidant to combat environmental stress. Its mild astringency also makes it suitable for refining pores and balancing oil levels, especially in blemish-prone skin.
