Many consumers know the benefits of Raspberry Seed Oil but very few also know the benefits of Raspberry Seed Extract. In Roccoco we use both the seed oil and the extract. Raspberry Seed Oil is high in essential fatty acids, especially Omega 3. It is also very rich in Vitamin E and Vitamin A. This unique Vitamin E contains high levels of alpha tocopherol and gamma tocopherol.
Raspberry Seed Oil is also known to have sun protecting properties. However we don’t recommend you use it as a sunscreen as it does not give broad spectrum coverage.
Raspberry extract is used in our Soothing Cleansing Oil. Research has found that the extract of raspberry is effective in promoting skin hydration and protecting the cells from moisture loss.
The study which was published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science confirms that raspberry extract can be used as an anti-aging product, specifically to fight the formation of wrinkles. Raspberry extract has been shown to increase the amount of filaggrin in the skin, a compound that is deficient in eczema skins. It also increases the amount of Hyaluronic Acid that our skin produces and is involved with the stimulation of an enzyme which is responsible for ceramide production in our skin.
