Blueberry° ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is mainly used as a botanical skin-conditioning extract, with antioxidant support from naturally occurring polyphenols. It can also contribute a subtle sensorial or story-driven plant-extract role, depending on the formula.

Is Blueberry° clean?
From a clean-beauty perspective, it is generally well accepted and not a common restricted-list concern. Sensitivity risk is usually low, though the final profile depends on the extraction solvent, preservative system, and any fragrance components in the blend.
Is Blueberry° sustainable?
This material is plant-derived and expected to be readily biodegradable. Its sustainability profile depends on agricultural practices, water use, regional sourcing, and whether the extract uses low-impact solvents or upcycled fruit streams.
Is Blueberry° COSMOS-approved?
It can be permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when sourced and processed with approved agricultural inputs, extraction methods, and solvents. It aligns well with Green Chemistry when made from renewable plant material using water, glycerin, or other accepted low-impact extraction media.
How does Blueberry° work chemically?
Chemically, it is a complex botanical mixture that may contain anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, sugars, and organic acids, with composition varying by source and extraction method. Typical use levels for fruit extracts are often around 0.1% to 5%, and the color-active polyphenols are more stable in acidic conditions but can shift or degrade with higher pH, heat, light, and oxidation.
