Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract, popularly known as Wild Strawberry Fruit Extract, is a powerful skincare ingredient loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C. It is interesting to note that strawberries get their red color due to the high amounts of antioxidant compounds known as anthocyanins present in them - the same compound also found in pomegranates. Due to this antioxidant content, wild strawberry fruit extract acts against oxidative stress and environmental damage to protect the skin and keep wrinkles at bay. Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract is also a good moisturizing and brightening agent. These red colored fruits contain ellagic acid, which can help soothe and tone the skin. In its raw form, Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract appears as a peach colored liquid with a characteristic odor. It is especially good for oily skin preparations and pairs well with vitamin C, niacinamide, and arbutin.

Origin
Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract comes from wild strawberries that are found in the temperate and subtropical areas of the northern hemisphere. The fruits are cleaned and crushed before soaking in a solvent such as water, glycerin, or alcohol - to extract the active compounds. The resulting extract is then filtered and preserved. It is stored in a light-protected, cool, and dry place to avoid oxidation and facilitate enhanced stability.
