Raspberry Seed CO2 - Organic

Our exquisite organic Raspberry Seed CO2  Total Extract – a specialty carrier oil that is highly valued in body, skin care, and cosmetic use – is an exceptionally light, dry, non-occlusive oil that quickly moisturizes and nourishes the skin without a greasy or sticky feel.[1] It is filtered and unrefined.

A high antioxidant and phospholipid content gives this carrier oil its long shelf life[2],[3], much longer than cold pressed carrier oils. The low temperature CO2 process (up to 104˚F/40˚C) ensures a product that more closely resembles that which is found in the raw plant material.[4] In addition, CO2 carrier oils meet strict heavy metal requirements and contain no carbohydrates, protein, or inorganic salts.[5]

Raspberry Seed CO2 has an exceptionally high Vitamin E and pro-vitamin A content[6] and high concentrations of essential fatty acids: linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and oleic acid.[7] This nourishing seed oil is beneficial in cosmetic applications for supporting the skin’s moisture barrier and elasticity and improving the appearance of environmental exposure.

Our organic Raspberry Seed CO2 contains a small percentage of Rosemary Antioxidant CO2 – Organic to help maintain freshness.
