Raspberry oil
Raspberry oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil pressed from raspberry seeds. It is prized in UK skincare and haircare for its natural antioxidants and silky texture that absorbs quickly without greasiness. Shoppers often choose it for its gentle yet effective moisturising properties.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, raspberry oil functions as an emollient and natural antioxidant, helping to soften and condition the skin while forming a light protective barrier. Its high content of essential fatty acids and vitamin E supports the skin’s natural lipid layer, improving smoothness and suppleness in creams, serums, balms and hair treatments.
