Bilberry Water – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Bilberry Water (Vaccinium myrtillus fruit water) is a gentle botanical distillate created via steam distillation. It functions as a refreshing hydrosol, delivering lightweight hydration, instant cooling relief, and pH balancing for sensitive or heat-triggered skin. Unlike potent extracts, it focuses on high-comfort and zero irritation, with trace antioxidants for daily environmental comfort. It is designed to be used in high percentages (up to 100% in mists and toners) to soothe irritation,reduce flushing, and enhance the absorption of subsequent serums. It is the perfect water-like base for ultra-gentle,sensitive-skin routines.
