Raspberry Seed Oil ~ Virgin ~ Chile - Unrefined

Unrefined - Virgin

Often used in cosmetic products for its hydrating, antioxidant and lipid-barrier forming characteristics, raspberry seed oil makes a lovely addition to facial formulations such as serums, face oils, lotions and creams for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature or aging skin types. Raspberry seed oil also serves as a luxurious addition to lip balms and lip products, as it forms an occlusive barrier to prevent moisture loss and protect skin from damaging elements.

6 reasons to use Raspberry seed oil:
Absorbs UV-B and UV-C so useful as a broad spectrum sunscreen*
Anti-inflammatory due to high content of alpha linolenic acid (the highest in any fruit seed oil) and phytosterols therefore helpful for eczema and psoriasis
Anti-aging benefits due to content of ellegic acid (an anti oxidant). This study show that elegiac acid “reduced the destruction of collagen and inflammatory response, both major causes of wrinkles.” It also protects against ultra violet damage.
Very high in Vitamin E – an antioxidant. Antioxidants in skin care are important to prevent oxidative damage which can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancer
Very high levels of phytosterols that can help reduce trans epidermal water loss thereby helping to keep skin moisturised
Phytosterols also help to repair skin damaged by environmental factors including sun damage
