Natural Sourcing, LLC added chokeberry seed oil into its growing catalogue of more than 500 certified organic and conventional natural ingredients for personal care product development. The announcement reaffirms the company’s position as a key supplier of high quality, exotic ingredients for the beauty, cosmetic and personal care industries.


“Chokeberry seed oil absorbs rapidly and serves as a versatile, nutritive oil within a wide array of cosmetic, personal care and aromatherapy applications,” said Natural Sourcing CEO Kibby Mitra. “It is a primarily polyunsaturated oil that helps to soften, soothe and protect the skin, leaving it feeling nourished and hydrated. It is well suited for sensitive, parched, dry, itchy, mature and problem skin types. Within scalp and hair care applications, chokeberry seed oil helps to condition and restore vitality to the scalp and normal, dry and damaged hair.”


This oil is expeller pressed and filtered. The Aronia melanocarpa shrub produces small chokeberries that are encased in a skin that is dark purple to black in hue. When consumed raw, the berries are extremely tart, thus lending to its chokeberry nickname. These astringent, flavorful, polyphenol-rich berries are commonly used in jams, syrups, wines, juices, flavorings and other culinary applications. They are said to be ideal for a variety of personal care formulations.
