The strawberry, Fragaria ananassa, is a sweet and flavorful fruit celebrated for its high nutritional value. Cold-pressing strawberry seeds produces one of nature's most impressive sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly a significant amount of linoleic acid, an essential omega-6 fatty acid. Linoleic acid benefits all skin types, from acne to mature skin, due to its moisturizing, regenerating, and sebum-regulating properties. Other carrier oils recognized for their high linoleic acid content include rosehip, safflower, and evening primrose.
Our strawberry seed oil is cold-pressed, virgin, and unrefined. This process results in a light golden color with a greenish hue, and its aroma is soft and slightly sweet, reminiscent of freshly picked strawberries. Furthermore, our strawberry seed oil is transparent and only lightly filtered to remove debris. It is crucial to emphasize that, since strawberry seeds are tiny and located on the outside of the berry, sourcing from a producer capable of cultivating strawberries organically, without pesticides or harmful chemicals, is essential for obtaining the most nutritious strawberry seed oil.
As pure as Strawberry seed oil is, it's gentle enough to be used at full strength, even for sensitive and fragile skin. To enhance the skin brightening and toning effects of this beauty oil, try combining it with other skin plumping oils like
