Super foods are becoming the norm throughout the economy as individuals focus on healthy lifestyle changes including food, beverages, and cosmetic products. Cranberries have become an important super fruit of the cosmetic industry.
Super foods or fruits, such as cranberries, are typically considered nutrient dense or beneficial for the overall health of the body. With a substantial collection of nutrients, super foods are known to boost health, increase energy and mood, while also rejuvenating the complexion. Super foods commonly contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to protect the body inside and out. Cranberries are known to house antioxidants, which can be beneficial in personal care applications.
