Red Raspberry Seed Oil - Cold Pressed by Berry Beautiful from locally grown Raspberries - 100% Pure & Unrefined (2 fl oz)

Around 2003 and concerned about the toxicity of applying an aluminum based deodorant underarms, I switched to a non-aluminum deodorant and used that same brand for about 15 years when all of a sudden that deodorant started causing dryness and itching that was most uncomfortable. I suspect the manufacturer had somehow changed the formulation; maybe one of the ingredients in it had become GMO. I had been using Berry Beautiful Red Raspberry seed oil on my face and hands and knew it was soothing and absorbed easily, so I grabbed it to quell the itching and treat my irritated underarms. When I tried the deodorant again, the itching started up again, so I just used the red raspberry seed oil, and soon I noticed that my underarms were fine using no product other than the Red Raspberry seed oil. Just the Red Raspberry seed oil was enough to keep my body odors at a socially acceptable level. Thinking maybe something was weird with me, I filled a little roller bottle with the Red Raspberry seed oil and gave it to a good friend, sharing what my experience had been and asking her to give it a try and let me know her experience. When I saw her again after almost two weeks, she said that she had been using it daily and loved it. She said it worked for her as a deodorant, and added that sometimes she did need to apply it a second time during the day. I find the combination of showering and using the oil lasts through the day, but that both together work better as compared to just using the oil on the second day without showering first. I want to comment also that I purchased the organic version of this oil and could not tell the difference. Maybe there is a difference, but just not one that is noticeable to me. Since this product has a lower price, I am satisfied using it. I also have purchased the Berry Beautiful Cranberry Seed oil, and find it works pretty much the same on my skin as this oil does. I think the red raspberry seed oil has a slightly nicer scent. Since the oil absorbs so easily into the skin, there has been no problem with clothing becoming stained. I certainly never expected this outcome but am definitely pleased. Lastly, I find that using a roller bottle is the perfect way to apply this oil, as it goes on easily without ever being an excessive amount; no guessing, no spilling, and once I use fingers to smooth it in, I'm good to go. A little goes a very long way.

I love this product! I use this on my homemade sunscreen, since it has a spf around 40 to 50, I also include this in my homemade moisturizers and facial oil. Here are some of the key benefits to the amazing oil:-Absorbs UV-B and UV-C so useful as a broad spectrum sunscreen*-Anti-inflammatory due to high content of alpha linolenic acid-Anti-aging benefits due to content of ellegic acid (an anti oxidant).-Very high in Vitamin E – an antioxidant. Which is important to prevent skin cancer-Helps reduce trans epidermal water loss thereby helping to keep skin moisturized-Repair skin damaged by environmental factors including sun damageHere are some more information of Raspberry Seed Oil:ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDSRed raspberry seed oil contains 83% essential fatty acids (EFAs). According to Naturopathica,“EFAs are necessary for proper skin function… Increasing the levels of key EFAs increases call membrane fluidity, enhances barrier function and repair, decreases trans-epidermal water loss, improves moisturization, cell signaling, cell immunity, and anti-inflammatory activity.”For these reasons, EFAs greatly soothe and remedy skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.VITAMIN EVitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and potent antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage. Free radicals affect the skin cells by causing wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and age spots. Vitamin E therefore protects the skin from these common signs of aging.POLYPHENOLSPolyphenols are potent antioxidants. You may have heard of these before since green tea, red wine, and olives are also rich in polyphenols — one of the main reasons they are so healthy! Studies have shown that when applied to the skin, polyphenols protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and enhance skin cell regeneration, improving tone and elasticity.NATURAL SPF PROPERTIESA 2000 study found that the UVA and UVB protection afforded by raspberry seed oil is reportedly similar to titanium dioxide with an SPF protection factor against UVB rays of 28-50, and an SPF protection factor against UVA rays of around 8.

I've been using this product for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I use it first thing in the morning after I wash my face . I have had no acne breakouts or clogged pores. It goes on very oily but don't worry your skin will soak it all in leaving you so soft and youthful. It has ha slight smell kind of like olive oil. I was afraid it would smell fishy but it does not. The smell immediatly fades. This product has a natural spf 30. I plan on using on my face the next time I'm in the sun. I'm 50 years old and could use all the antioxidents that I can get. It came with a paper that explained the many properties Rasberry oil has to offer. Great product that I will refier to friends.

I ve applied this oil on my face for about 6 days, it feels sunburn even tho I have been not under the sun all day. The glass bottle ingredient says red raspberry seed oil 100%, but the paper goes with it says different. If you want red raspberry seed oil 100%, dont buy this. I returned this item and they refunded my money back. Here's two pictures.

I subscribe to the belief that if you can't eat it, don't use it on your body. Well, you could eat this stuff as it tastes and smells sweet. This makes it ideal to use on chapped lips. Also, did you know that Raspberry seed oil has a natural SPF? I use this straight on my skin and also my hair. Considering how little you have to use it's a bargain. Give up expensive lotions and start using essential oils instead. I mix up my own anti-aging serum using this along with carrot seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, jojoba oil, rose hip oil, vitamin e, and frankincense oil. I'm fifty years old and people tell me I look 10 years younger. They also ask me what I use on my skin all the time!

It is genuine pure oil with a natural scent from the seeds.The bottle is provided with a glass dropper.I purchased it from Berry beautiful seller. I am satisfied with the quality of the oil.it can even heal acne

Very moisturizing.

Does not smell fresh at all. I will be looking for another source.

Beautiful soft glowing skin!
