Description: Extracted without solvents or chemical processing, it is pesticide-free and carefully filtered to maintain the beneficial components of the natural oil.
Colour: Clear to dark yellow with a hint of green.
Aroma: Very light scent of oil.
Common Uses: Raspberry Seed Oil is an excellent oil used in cosmetic preparations as a carrier of nutrients to the skin. It has a high content of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and is a rich source of tocopherols (antioxidants) which hydrates the skin and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Raspberry Seed Oil can be used in lip balms, creams, sun-protection creams, body balms and other skin care formulations.
Raspberry Seed Oil can also be added to any formulation to enhance protection against the sun. See my article http://www.anarreshealth.ca/content/natural-spf-ingredients Raspberry seed oil acts like a single-ingredient, natural sunscreen. A 2000 study concluded that raspberry seed oil provides UVA and UVB protection similar to titanium dioxide with an SPF protection factor against UVB rays of 28-50, and an SPF protection factor against UVA rays of around 8.*
