Red RASPBERRY SEED OIL BENEFITS
One of the reasons we love raspberry seed oil is that it has a specific combination of unusual benefits that really make it indispensable and special. While coconut oil may be the workhorse of natural oils, raspberry seed oil is the unicorn.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are naturally occurring substances found in fruit and vegetables that help stop cells from oxidizing in your body. These oxidants, or free radicals, attack healthy cells in your body which causes a chain reaction of unstable, unhealthy cells. Antioxidants help reduce the number of free radicals in your body and have been linked in helping to prevent cancer, diabetes and accelerated aging due to pollution, smoking, radiation and herbicides.
Raspberry seed oil has naturally high concentrations of Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Phytosterols, all of which are powerful antioxidants. They are known to help protect against cancer, encourage new collagen growth for younger looking skin, inhibit UV damage, stimulate cell repair and reduces skin damage.
SUN PROTECTING PROPERTIES
A study published in 2000 showed that raspberry seed oil may provide signficant UV protection. Raspberry seed oil SPF is shown to be able to block the sun’s harmful rays by both “scattering” the rays and also absorbing the rays as they reach your skin.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Our bodies need a certain amount of fatty acids (thus— essential) to maintain proper health. Without the right amount of fatty acids, we can face anything from dry skin to depression, kidney abnormalities to decreased immune function.
On the flip side, if our bodies are nice and stocked up with all the essential fatty acids we need, it can help reduce the incidence of stroke and heart disease as well as relieve menstrual pain, joint pain and ulcerative colitis. Healthy essential fatty acid levels have even been associated with decreased breast cancer risk!
Some fatty acids we produce on our own, but others, like Omega-6 and Omega-3, we need to get from fruits and veggies. Raspberry seed oil contains high amounts of both and can help eczema, acne, and psoriasis when applied topically.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Raspberry seed oil contains high amounts of alpha-linolenic acid which is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory acid that helps keep skin hydrated, reduces puffiness and helps regenerate cells— which helps keep your skin looking younger, longer!
ELLAGIC ACID
And speaking of anti-aging properties, Ellagic acid helps reduce the destruction of collagen and inflammatory responses of your skin which are two major players in wrinkle development. While it has yet to be proven, Ellagic acid has also been shown in certain instances to help prevent skin cancer.

It may also promote wound healing by stimulating tissue regeneration. The vitamin A is said to help combat wrinkles, sun damage and uneven skin tone. Rosehip seed oil does not need to be diluted in a carrier oil and is said to be safe for sensitive skins.
Evening Primrose oil is high in linoleic acid which treats discoloration, and dry slack skin. (Evening primrose is an amazing healing oil and can be used to heal eczema and psoriasis and acne)

Vitamin C for Anti-Aging & Brighter, Healthier Skin
In any form (and we’ll get to which types work best), vitamin C provides potent antioxidant protection, shielding skin from damaging free radicals—those pesky rogue molecules that promote premature aging. The most abundant forms of free-radical damage are environmental factors we can’t escape—think sun damage, pollution and oxygen—that assault skin on a daily basis, but that’s where topical vitamin C can help (Dermatological Surgery, 2008 & Dermatology Research and Practice, 2012)!
When incorporated into your daily skincare lineup, well-formulated products containing vitamin C can provide a range of benefits that keep your skin younger-looking, longer! See what C can do:
Reduce the appearance of brown spots and other types of sun damage
Helps boost healthy collagen production (hello, firmer skin!)
Reduce inflammation and irritation, both of which cause a cascade of damage
Fade post-breakout red marks by improving skin’s natural healing response
Increase the effectiveness of your sunscreens and boosts your skins defense against UV exposure
Coenzyme Q10 is an oil-soluble, vitamin-like substance, present naturally in the human body. It helps generate energy and also functions as an antioxidant, protecting the body from damage caused by harmful particles.
When applied topically CoQ10 is able to penetrate into the living cell layers of the skin and cripple both the depth of deep wrinkles, and the turnover of skin cells. It is also highly effective in protecting the outer epidermis from oxidative DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light.
Some studies and trials have shown that damages caused by free radicals can be neutralized by CoQ10. These damages cause wrinkles and make skin appear older, but the antioxidants inside CoQ10 can thwart and reverse skin damage, by preserving the collagen and elastin in the cells giving you younger looking skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in skin that has the stunning capacity to attract and hold vast amounts of moisture. It works overtime by replenishing skin to enhance a healthy look and feel.
Hyaluronic Acid is a key molecule in skin aging and younger skin. We use Ultra Low Molecular Weight (ULMW) HA = lesss than 6,000 Daltons (6 kDa) fr the best possible absorption.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid
As we age, our skin loses the ability to preserve moisture, resulting in the visible loss of firmness, pliability, and plumpness. Hyaluronic acid swoops in with the ability to replenish moisture that is crucial to having younger-looking, supple skin.
At the same time, it revitalizes skin’s outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and, glowingly hydrated to instantly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How Does Hyaluronic Acid Benefit Skin?
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a fancy name for a vital natural substance that’s a youth-supporting part of skin. As the chief glycosaminoglycan in skin, hyaluronic acid works to keep every aspect of skin stable, safeguarded, and constantly renewed. It also has the stunning capacity to attract and hold vast amounts of moisture.
This science-based magic lies in hyaluronic acid’s ability to replenish moisture, a lot of moisture! One gram (0.03 ounce) of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six liters of water. Now that really is mind-blowing! But what’s even more impressive is that hyaluronic acid can do this for skin without tipping the scales and giving skin too much water. Surprisingly, too much water is a problem for skin because it causes key substances holding skin’s surface intact to break down.
Hyaluronic acid’s moisture-binding characteristic is exceptionally important when it comes to skin aging. One of the qualities of youthful skin is its ability to hold water and retain a balanced amount of moisture. As we age, our skin loses the ability to maintain this vital, plumping moisture as well as it once did. The result is visible loss of firmness, pliability, and diminished appearance of plumpness and suppleness.
Hyaluronic acid can enhance moisture content beyond comparison with anything else, and at the same time revitalize skin’s outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and, especially, radiantly hydrated! That’s how it instantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid also provides an antioxidant defense against environmental assault. Now that’s what we call a multitasking anti-aging ingredient.
Hyaluronic acid is actually a natural substance that is already found in our bodies. As with collagen, the younger our skin is, the more hyaluronic acid our skin has. And to put it quite simply-the most radiant and young looking skin contains ample amounts of water. Increase your skin’s water content and you will be restoring the youthfulness of your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant. This means it draws in water and holds on to it. HA can hold 1000x it’s weight in water. Basically, when hyaluronic acid is abundant in the skin, the skin looks smooth, plump and dewy. As we age, especially in the late 30’s to early 40’s, the amount of hyaluronic acid our skin has, greatly decreases. Well, luckily there is an easy way to replenish it and that’s what we’re going to talk about today!
First off let’s get one thing straight-hyaluronic acid is not what we think of when we hear the word acid. It is in no way an exfoliant or a harsh substance that will remove dead skin. It’s actually quite the opposite. As I mentioned above, it is responsible for managing the water content of our skin. It grabs and holds on to water. Basically, young skin is well-hydrated. The water is what makes young skin look even, wrinkle free and healthy. Old skin is dehydrated, wrinkled and dull. Restore moisture in the skin and you can restore a healthy glow! It’s really that simple.
