Product Review

Bearberry is a powerful tonic for the body, and its antiseptic properties are excellent for the skin as well. Bearberry is one of the many ingredients that are becoming more prominent in skin care products today.
Bearberry's name is derived from the Greek and Latin word UvaUrsi which means Bear's Grape. Bearberry extract turns up more and more often in skincare. This edible red berry (which is a favorite food of bears - hence the name) has long been used in herbal medicine. It contains something called arbutin, which is a natural skin brightener. The polyphenolic compounds found in bearberry leaves have been shown to have strong antioxidant properties that protect the skin from the visible signs of aging like premature wrinkles and fine lines caused by free radical damage.
