Bearberry Leaf Extract (Uva Ursi) Powder

What is Bearberry?

Bearberry, also known as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (the common bearberry), is a low-growing plant native to Asia, Europe, Central and North America. The herb gets its name from one of its biggest fans: bears love to eat the small red berries that grow on the shrub (“uva ursi” means “grape of the bear” in Latin).

While they are popular with bears, the berries are poisonous to humans. The leaves however, are loaded with health benefits.
