How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare, raspberry extract and cold-pressed raspberry seed oil function as antioxidant-rich emollients and conditioning agents. The oil’s high content of linoleic and linolenic acids helps reinforce the skin’s natural lipid barrier, while ellagic acid and vitamin E combat free-radical damage caused by environmental stressors. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly, making it an excellent ingredient in facial oils, moisturisers, lip balms and hair serums, leaving skin and hair feeling soft, smooth and protected without greasiness.
