Strawberry Seed Oil, V

The tiny seeds that jewel the surface of a strawberry yield a surprisingly elegant, lightweight oil. Cold pressed, with a natural green hue, Virgin Strawberry Seed Oil combines a very subtle aroma reminiscent of strawberries with a light, silken texture. It lends itself beautifully to facial nectars, satin-finish body oils, and botanical formulations—products where the pleasure of application is part of the appeal.

Strawberry seed oils abundant omega-6 linoleic acid with omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, make up approximately 70% of its representative fatty acid profile paired with its naturally occurring tocopherols and plant sterols such as beta-sitosterol, make it an elegant oil to include in your luxury centered product formulations.

Fatty Acid Profile

This representative fatty acid profile is provided for general formulation guidance. For exact values, refer to the batch specific Certificate of Analysis (COA).

Linoleic acid leads this profile, with a substantial alpha-linolenic contribution. This combination is useful when selecting oils for an essential-fatty-acid-focused formulation; the high unsaturated content also makes protection from oxidation an important development consideration.

“ Strawberry Seed Oil is a perfect addition to the on-trend product formulations of gourmand-focused skincare and hair care products. The subtle sweetness that is reminiscent of the source material itself is absolutely gorgeous and would serve well as a key component of a product’s design element. a strawberry-themed gel cream, facial moisturizer, silky body oil, or scalp treatment are just the beginning of the directions that you could go with this lovely strawberry seed oil. ”
