Typically, when we think of skincare, it’s as a topical treatment. However, today we are going to be talking about a product that seeks to improve your skin from the inside out. MIDNATTSOL’s Lingonberry Seed Oil Capsules have been created to help improve smoothness and elasticity from within, rather than just on the surface, and here at The Amazing Blog we’re looking at its benefits.
MIDNATTSOL is a Swedish brand co-founded by Erik Sundquist in 2018. MIDNATTSOL is owned by Cynocare Ltd, a medical device company focused on bringing unique and scientifically proven innovation to the aesthetic and medical field. With offices in Hong Kong and Sweden, Cynocare Ltd has a reputation based on 20 successful years in the life science business. The brand MIDNATTSOL works with a focus on innovative yet natural health and beauty solutions. As a brand and company, they pride themselves on their Swedish heritage, and with this focus, MIDNATTSOL only chooses active ingredients with scientific support for their products. The name of the company derives from the unique Nordic midnight sun. The extended amount of sunlight creates unique growing conditions, which results in some of the nutrient-rich ingredients used in MIDNATTSOL. These ingredients, such as the lingonberry, are used in a variety of their skincare products. MIDNATTSOL also uses a unique patented TYMEDIKER™ process which focuses on reducing pigmentation in the skin. This four-step process focusing on creating effective yet gentle solutions to suit even the most sensitive of skin types.
MIDNATTSOL’s Lingonberry Seed Oil capsules are naturally enriched with fatty acids and vitamins that work together to provide natural barriers to protect the skin. Lingonberries are considered a superfood. The raw seed oil that derives from these wild, Arctic lingonberries is rich in essential fatty acids, plant sterols and antioxidants. The lingonberry is the distant cousin of the well-known cranberry and contains more flavonoids than cranberries or any other wild berry. Due to their high nutritional profile, these small, red berries help heart health, control weight and blood sugar, and promote healthy gut bacteria. More research is needed on the benefits of this superfruit, but studies have already shown that these berries are packed with vitamins, calcium, potassium and other enriching elements. Lingonberry seed oil is naturally rich in vitamin E, which has strong antioxidant properties. The fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6, giving natural barriers to help retain moisture in the skin and protect the skin from outside pollution penetrating the skin.
In a clinical trial over a 12 week period with Dr Moon Seok Shin, women between the ages of 35 to 65, who regular took the lingonberry seed oil capsules, saw significant improvement their skin’s ‘hydration, elasticity and density’, which in turn reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 93% of participants found the treatment either good or very good, 90% felt that it was effective in improving skin smoothness, and 86% found the treatment to be effective in making the skin more elastic.

Something we also know, is that lingonberry seed oil act as antioxidants, blocking free radicals that can damage skin and is rich in plant compounds, including anthocyanins and flavonoids. The red colour of lingonberry comes from anthocyanins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefit. These luminous little red capsules are so easy to take, two in the morning and two a night. Although we haven’t quite finished the 12 week’s course, with about another month or two to go, the one thing we have noticed is a definite improvement in gut health and our general wellbeing. We think that this humble lingonberry is a very underrated superfood that offers so much not only for skin but for wellbeing too. They describe it as ‘Nordic beauty from within’ and we couldn’t agree more. We’ll keep you posted as to our progress. MIDNATTSOL Lingonberry Seed Oil Capsules are available in a pack of 60 capsules (one month’s supply) and you can purchase here for $41.80.
