Name: Raspberry seed oil
SKU: D-1731

Description

Raspberry Oil, obtained by cold pressing the seeds of Rubus Idaeus, is a natural "shield" for sensitive skin exposed to the sun. It is extremely rich in vitamin E (alpha and gamma-tocopherols), carotenoids (Vitamin A), and essential fatty acids, having one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants among all vegetable oils.

This vegetable oil is famous for its ability to absorb some UV radiation (UV-B and UV-C), acting as a natural photoprotector (adjuvant). With a fine, "dry oil" texture, it is an unequaled ally for preventing premature aging, soothing redness, and protecting the skin against environmental aggressions, being excellently tolerated even by reactive or eczema-prone skin.

Facial care

Ideal for sensitive, mature skin or for wrinkle prevention. It is a perfect day oil, especially in summer.

Practical recommendations

Urban protection serum: Apply 2-3 drops in the morning, before SPF cream. Antioxidants will neutralize free radicals generated by rays that pass through the sun filter.
Treatment for sensitive skin: Soothes redness and irritations (couperose, dermatitis) due to the anti-inflammatory profile.
Anti-wrinkle facial oil: Massage face and neck in the evening to prevent the formation of expression lines.

Synergies in facial care

For sun protection (adjuvant), it combines with Karanja Oil and Zinc Oxide. For anti-aging effect, associate with Rosehip Extractand Pomegranate Oil.

Practical recommendations

Sun protection for hair: Apply to hair length before going to the beach or pool. Prevents keratin degradation caused by UV.
Scalp soothing: Massage sensitive, irritated scalp or scalp with dry dandruff.

Synergies in hair care

For color protection, it combines with Açaí Oil and Buriti Oil.

Body care

Excellent for soothing skin after sun exposure or for treating areas with eczema.

After-Sun Oil: Mix with St. John's Wort macerate oil (evening) or Calendula to repair sunburnt skin.
For atopic skin: Apply to dry and rough areas. Reduces itching and restores the lipid barrier.

Synergies in body care

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does it smell like sweet raspberries?: No! This is the biggest myth. The oil is extracted from the seeds, not from the fruit pulp. It has a vegetal, earthy smell, sometimes compared to cucumber or hay. An oil that smells like sweet raspberries contains added perfume.
Can I give up SPF cream if I use this oil?: No. Although studies show that raspberry oil has some UV absorption potential, this factor is not stable and guaranteed under real beach conditions. It must be used as a protection supplement, not as a replacement for approved sun filters.
Is it comedogenic?: No. It has a very low comedogenic index. It is safe for oily and acne-prone skin.

Technical data, quality

Raspberry oil has a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which gives it its fluid texture.

The main active compounds are:

Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): Approx. 50-60%.
Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): Approx. 30%. Strong anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin E (Alpha and Gamma Tocopherol): Antioxidant that prevents skin rancidity.
Carotenoids: Vitamin A precursors, responsible for the yellow-orange color.

Warnings, Safety data

General precautions

Being very rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6), it is sensitive to oxidation.

Why we love it

Raspberry Oil is the "invisible umbrella" of the skin. We love it because it offers us extra safety under the burning sun and because it is incredibly fine and light. Although its smell surprises us, its results on sensitive and reddish skin convince us irremediably that nature knows best how to protect us.
