You’ve probably spotted it on a label or two: Red Raspberry Seed Oil
A lightweight botanical oil, rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, with naturally occurring compounds that help support your skin’s barrier and overall appearance. It’s calming, non-greasy and suitable for dry, oily, and even sensitive skin types alike.
Here’s why this underrated oil might just deserve a spot on your shelf.
OK, But... What Is Red Raspberry Seed Oil?
Red Raspberry Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Rubus idaeus, a red-fruited species native to Europe and northern Asia, now grown in temperate regions (including right here in Australia).
We source ours from trusted Australian suppliers who share insight into the oil’s origins and sustainability. Often, raspberry seeds are a by-product of juice and jam production, meaning this ingredient helps reduce agricultural waste and supports a more circular, low-impact approach to skincare sourcing.
A win for your skin and the planet.
Why It Earns a Spot in Our Routine
Aside from feeling luxuriously light, Raspberry Seed Oil brings a natural balance of essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help support the skin barrier and promote a smooth, hydrated, healthy look, no sticky finish in sight.
It’s the kind of product that quietly does its job and makes everything else in your routine work a little better.
What’s Inside
This multitasking oil is packed with naturally occurring nutrients, including:
-
Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids: help maintain moisture and support a soft, comfortable feel.
-
Vitamin E + Carotenoids: antioxidant powerhouses that help protect skin from everyday environmental stressors.
-
Phytosterols: plant-based compounds that help limit moisture loss and support a healthy barrier.
-
Ellagic acid: a potent antioxidant found in abundance in raspberry seeds, studied for its potential to reduce visible signs of oxidative stress.

The Sun Protection Question
You may have heard that raspberry seed oil offers UV protection and while it does contain compounds that can absorb some UVB light, it hasn’t been tested or approved as an SPF.
So think of it as a moisturising sidekick to your sunscreen, not a substitute. Always follow up with a proper, tested SPF for real protection.
The Takeaway
Red Raspberry Seed Oil is a gentle, plant-powered way to keep skincare minimal yet effective. With its lightweight texture and naturally nourishing properties, it’s perfect for anyone who loves simple, soothing skincare with visible results.
