Origin

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract comes from the Vaccinium Macrocarpon (cranberry) plant, native to Canada, the US, and some parts of Europe. The extract is produced by maceration or extraction of cranberry fruit in a solvent such as water, ethanol, or a combination of both. The mixture is then filtered to remove solid particles, and the resulting extract undergoes further purification steps if necessary.
