Arctic Lingonberry: The Antioxidant Shield from the Cold
From the frozen lands of the Far North, the Arctic lingonberry is a concentrate of antioxidants, polyphenols and vitamin C. In Pure Altitude skincare, it protects the skin from the cold and external aggressors, strengthens its defences and restores its radiance and vitality. An extreme active for stronger skin, every day.
A berry born of the deep cold
The Arctic lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), also known as the cowberry, is a small creeping shrub that grows where almost nothing else survives. It thrives in open woodland, Alpine heathland and high-altitude grassland, sometimes above 3,000 metres. From the boreal and polar regions of Scandinavia, Russia and Canada to our own French Alps, this discreet berry has made extreme cold its territory. At Pure Altitude, we draw the very essence of our skincare from this botanical resilience: the quiet strength of the mountains.
A concentrate of antioxidants shaped by extremes
To survive icy winds, high-altitude UV and long polar nights, the Arctic lingonberry has developed an exceptional wealth of polyphenols, flavonoids and vitamin C. It passes this natural armour on to your skin. A true botanical shield, it helps neutralise the free radicals responsible for oxidative stress, the invisible cascade that accelerates skin ageing.
- It neutralises the free radicals generated by external aggressors.
- It softens the visible signs of time and preserves radiance.
- It strengthens the skin’s natural defences.
A protective shield against everyday aggressors
Cold, wind, pollution, UV rays: every day your skin faces an environment as harsh as the one in which the lingonberry grows. Rich in antioxidants, this berry from the Far North acts as a rampart. It soothes cold-induced tightness, helps preserve the skin’s protective barrier and restores the vitality skin loses when facing the elements. A targeted answer for exposed skin, whether it lives to the rhythm of the mountains or of the city.
The Ferme de Beauté's tip: in winter and at altitude alike, apply an Arctic berry treatment every morning, focusing on the areas most exposed to the cold. This daily antioxidant ritual creates a true shield before exercise, heading outdoors or facing the elements.
