Raspberry Seed CO₂ total Extract is a highly nourishing and antioxidant-rich oil made from organic raspberry seeds using supercritical CO₂ extraction. This gentle method preserves the seed’s natural profile of essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols, giving a beautiful golden oil ideal for skincare that focuses on barrier support, hydration, and environmental protection. This Raspberry Seed CO2 oil is ideal for using in facial oils, serums, balms, creams, sun-care formulations, and mature, dry, or sensitive skin types.

This extract contains no solvent residues, no added chemicals, and is stabilised with just 0.1% organic rosemary antioxidant extract for freshness.

Why It’s Special

CO₂ extraction delivers a cleaner and more complete fatty-acid and antioxidant profile than cold-pressing or refined oils. This makes this oil especially rich in:

• Linoleic Acid (Omega 6)

• Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega 3)

• Oleic Acid (Omega 9)

• Natural Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols)

These components help strengthen the skin barrier, support elasticity, soften dryness, and protect against environmental stress.
It takes 6–8 kg of raspberry seeds to produce 1 kg of extract, showing strong concentration.
