Raspberry seed oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of raspberries. It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, making it a powerhouse ingredient in skincare. Here are our top 5 reasons we added it to Face by HAV
1. Powerful Antioxidant Properties
Raspberry seed oil is packed with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and vitamin A. These antioxidants help protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause premature aging and damage. By neutralizing free radicals, raspberry seed oil helps to maintain a youthful and radiant complexion. Yay!
2. Natural Sun Protection
Raspberry seed oil has a natural sun protection factor (SPF) of around 25-50, making it an excellent addition to your sunscreen routine. It helps to shield the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and sun damage. However, raspberry seed oil should not be used as a standalone sunscreen but rather as a complementary measure. We still like to pile on our sunscreen.
3. Deeply Moisturizing
The high content of essential fatty acids in raspberry seed oil makes it a deeply moisturizing ingredient. It helps to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and smooth. Regular use of raspberry seed oil can help improve the skin's moisture barrier, preventing dryness and promoting a healthy complexion.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Raspberry seed oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm irritated skin. It can be beneficial for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, as it helps reduce redness, inflammation, and blemishes (this is why our oil works so well for young blemished skin too). Incorporating raspberry seed oil into your skincare routine can promote a clearer and more balanced complexion.
5. Versatile and Gentle
Raspberry seed oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause breakouts (again, why this is so great for teen skin too). Its lightweight and non-greasy texture make it easy to incorporate into your skincare routine. Super easy to layer your foundation or sunscreen overtop. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, raspberry seed oil can provide numerous benefits without causing any adverse reactions.
Raspberry seed oil was one of our first choices when creating the face oil. iWe love that it offers a wide range of benefits for the skin. From its antioxidant properties to its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits, it is one of our faves!
