Bilberry & Birch Sugar Ingredients
Clear air, birch trees, and a variety of wild berries: the plants that grow in this natural environment have supported people's lives and health since ancient times.
Hohode products are made with an abundance of ingredients sourced from Finnish forests. Forests are a treasure trove of plants that are good for both the body and the skin. This time, we will introduce some of the ingredients that are unique to Finland.
🫐A small jewel of the forest - Bilberry Fruit Extract: Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract
Bilberries are small blueberry species that grow wild in the forests of Finland. They are known as a nutritious "superfood." They are so deeply rooted in Finnish life that many people go out to pick bilberries during the season.
Bilberries are rich in anthocyanins, and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have excellent effects not only on the body but also on the skin. Wild bilberries, in particular, are said to contain an average of about 80% more antioxidants than cultivated blueberries. They are truly a blessing from nature, with the strength they have accumulated to endure the harsh northern climate and long winters.
Bilberry seed oil contains vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, which nourish and keep skin healthy. It is a powerful ingredient that cares for sensitive and delicate skin while protecting it from external damage.
✨The tocotrienols contained in this product protect the skin from environmental stressors such as air pollution, UV rays, and dryness.
✨Flavonoids help oxygenate cells, supporting the skin's natural health.
💧Birch Blessings - Birch Sugar / Xylitol
Xylitol, a natural sweetener also known as birch sugar, has long been popular in Finland as an ingredient that helps prevent tooth decay. While xylitol is often associated with food, it has recently been gaining attention as a skincare ingredient.
First of all, it has excellent moisturizing properties. It helps the skin retain moisture and enhances the penetration of other ingredients. Furthermore, its antibacterial properties help balance the normal bacteria on the skin, keeping the skin surface healthy. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-redness properties make it an ideal ingredient for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
✨It acts as a humectant (moisturizer) to draw moisture into the skin and keep it hydrated.
✨Creates a protective layer of moisture on the skin surface, gently protecting it from external stimuli.
✨Promotes the production of filaggrin, which is essential for the skin's barrier function and moisturizing, supporting the skin's natural defense function.
It is a truly versatile beauty ingredient that moisturizes and protects at the same time.
🌿Summary The ingredients produced by nature hold immeasurable wonders and power. Forest products such as bilberries and birch sugar have traditionally been used in Finnish life. They gently envelop our skin and enrich our daily skincare routine.
Hohode continues to incorporate the wisdom of nature and create products that are close to the skin and the mind, hoping that you will come into contact with the gifts of the forest and feel the breath of Finland's great outdoors.
