Rubus idaeus L. Raspberry seed botanical extract
Rubus idaeus L. Raspberry seed botanical extract:
This voluptuous, beautiful extract offers many skin benefits including; moisturisation, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, occlusive, anti-aging, hydrating properties. Therefore it helps improve the elasticity of the skin, overall resiliene of the skin, helps to smooth, soften the skin and helps to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Effects of Raspberry Seed oil/extract and its applications:
Anti-oxidant:
Raspberry seed extract has a very high content of Vitamin A and E. Studies conducted found the following: The seed oil was rich in tocopherols with the following composition (mg/100 g): [alpha]-tocopherol 71; [gamma]-tocopherol 272; [delta]-tocopherol 17.4; and total vitamin E equivalent of 97 and it also has high levels of carotenoids (Vitamin A). The oil had good oxidation resistance and storage stability. Anti-oxidants have long been recognised for their major role in skin care. Anti-oxidants help counteract reactive oxygen species inhibiting oxidative damage to cells and tissues. This helps to reduce signs of aging and helps in the repair of damaged, over-exposed skin.
High essential fatty acid levels:
Raspberry seed oil extract has a very high content of essential fatty acids, mainly linoleic and linolenic acids. Due to the high level of alpha-linolenic acid and phytosterols it offers anti-infammatory properties. High levels of linoleic acid 50-62% offers overall improvement in skin barrier repair function, reduces trans-epidermal water loss therefore improving the overall appearance and feel of the skin.
To conclude:
Raspberry seed botanical oil/extract has many amazing skin benefits and this is why I have included it in some of my formulations. It is very good for dry, sensitive, dehyrated and maturing skin. It is moisturising, regenerative and improves the skin's elasticity. It is a light, dry, thin and long oil and has a medium absorption rate. I blend it with other lighter, drier oils and this helps to combat any greasy feel on the skin and also aids quick absorption.
