Raspberry Seed Oil Benefits and Uses

Maybe you’re new to our blog, but we like talking about how our skin is our largest organ, and how what we put into our body is important along with what we put on our body. About 60% of what we put onto our skin gets absorbed into our systems.

You’ll see that our products are often identifiable from plants and fruits that you see on healthy eating lists too, making their cold-pressed seed counterparts great candidates for intense skin healing. Red Raspberry Seeds are no different. We love the fruit for eating, and the seeds for moisturizing our skin.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil Benefits For Skin

Our 100% pure, organic Red Raspberry Seed Oil (Rubus Idaeus) maintains all of its vitamin benefits because it’s never been heated. Cold-pressing the seeds maintains the best integrity of the natural skin-boosting benefits, so always make sure that that’s what you’re using to get the max perks out of this list.

1. Daily UV-Blocker – Use Red Raspberry Seed Oil as a daily moisturizer as the first layer of defense before adding a daily sunscreen.

It naturally absorbs UV-A and UV-B rays without any artificial chemicals. Make sure to hit your chest with this oil too – that area gets lots of sun and not much care! Check out our blog about its sun fighting power.

2. Anti-inflammatory Skin Healer – This little wonder boasts the highest content of any fruit seed for alpha linolenic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory agent. It also has some phytosterols, which is helpful for inflamed skin issues like eczema and psoriasis.

3. Sun Damage Restorer – These phytosterols do lots of good things, like also repairing skin after sun damage that we can’t even see.

4. Antioxidant Booster – Raspberry seeds have crazy high levels of Vitamin E, which is one of the more popular natural antioxidants.

Antioxidants fight free radicals and combat oxidative damage, which is a leading cause of skin cancer and premature aging.

5. Wrinkle Fighter – They also boast another antioxidant called ellagic acid, which prevents early wrinkles and boosts your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, which makes your face look more youthful and firm.

6. Intense Moisturizer – Even though it smooths on nicely, it’s a very moisturizing oil. Use when your skin is especially dry in the fall and winter seasons when the air holds less moisture but the sun can still beat down (and we forget the need for sunscreen because we’re bundled up).

Those phytosterols are again known to reduce water loss on the skin, keeping you hydrated and moisturized for longer.

7. Acne Fighter – Let’s chat about omega-3 & -6 fatty acids. High levels of these acids have been shown to decrease inflammation and fight acne too.

It helps decrease an insulin-like growth factor and hyperkeratinization of your pores and follicles, improving dermatitis and acne.

8. Oil Production Controller – Using Red Raspberry Seed Oil everyday will balance out your skin’s natural oil production since it will notice that it’s already getting moisturized and receiving these benefits above.

Add to your hair regimen too – it will strengthen your hair, add shine, and fight split ends. Hair gets sun damage and dryness too.

Why Pure Raspberry Seed Oil?

Pure ingredients make a difference for your health and to see the effects of the benefits listed above. In fact, harmful additives can exacerbate the very skin conditions that you are trying to treat. Raspberry Seed Oil may be one of the most slept on pure pressed oils.

Not only is it amazing to combat oily skin, it also acts as a natural SPF enhancer, reduces scarring and inflammation, and rates only a 1 on the comedogenic scale– meaning it will not clog your pores, and is amazing in treating and preventing blemishes. What more could you ask for from one ingredient? Raspberry Seed Oil contains high levels of ellagic acid which is responsible for the antioxidant properties found within the oil.

We are also confident in our use of Raspberry Seed Oil not affecting the environment, as raspberries are amazingly abundant in many parts of the world(including Germany, Poland, Chile, Mexico, United States and more!) and will not contribute to any economic waste.
