Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil is highly valued in cosmetics for its versatile benefits. It is a powerful moisturizer, rich in essential fatty acids like linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, which help repair and strengthen the skin barrier.

The oil also has mild SPF properties, offering some natural UV protection. In hair care, Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil nourishes the scalp, adds shine, and reduces dryness. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Origin
Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil is made by extracting oil from dried raspberry seeds. The most common method is cold pressing, where the seeds are mechanically pressed without heat, preserving the oil's nutrients and antioxidants. After pressing, the crude oil is filtered to remove impurities. For higher purity, supercritical CO2 extraction can be used, which involves using carbon dioxide under high pressure and low temperature to extract the oil.
