SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • The Ultimate Environmental Shield: Cold-pressed from the tiny seeds of the red raspberry, this luxurious, golden-hued oil is a celebrated protector against environmental stressors. It is heavily loaded with antioxidants that actively neutralize free radicals from pollution and outdoor elements.
  • A Fast-Absorbing "Dry Oil": Despite its rich nutritional profile, Raspberry Seed oil is considered a "dry oil." It is exceptionally lightweight, absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy film, and is highly compatible with all skin types.
  • High Natural SPF Support: This precious oil is famous for possessing an incredibly high natural Sun Protection Factor (SPF), with scientific reports placing its protective value between 28 and 50 against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
  • Important Sun-Care Note: While Raspberry Seed oil is an outstanding booster for daily sun protection and entered into many organic sunscreens, it is not a replacement for a dedicated, broad-spectrum sunscreen. Use it to supercharge your daily routine or soothe the skin as an after-sun treatment.
