Vaccinium Myrtillus (Blueberry) Fruit/Leaf Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins, and flavonoids used in topical formulations for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It is believed to help neutralize free radicals and soothe the skin, though robust clinical evidence for cosmetic benefits is limited.
