Application

Strawberry seed oil is a light, fast-absorbing cosmetic raw material, rich in valuable nutrients. The gentle cold-pressing process preserves its natural properties to the fullest. It is considered a superfood for the skin – especially recommended for the care of mature, dry, damaged, dehydrated, and problematic skin prone to imperfections.
The rich fatty acid profile mainly includes essential unsaturated fatty acids (over 80%), including Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9, which support the restoration of the hydrolipid barrier and help maintain balanced skin hydration. The oil is also a valuable source of natural antioxidants – vitamin E (tocopherols) and ellagic acid – which help protect the skin from free radicals and photoaging.

Recommended concentration in formulations: 5–100%

Examples of applications in face and body care:
• As a pure oil for the care of dry, mature, damaged, and dehydrated skin (oil serum for night or day use, depending on skin needs)
• Additive in creams, body lotions, butters, and oil blends at about 10–25% to enhance nourishing, regenerating, and antioxidant properties
• Component of light facial oils, including oil under cream or in oil blends for facial massage
• Base or component in cleansing oils and formulations for oil-based facial cleansing (especially for dry, irritated, and sensitive skin)
• Ingredient in body care products, especially for dry and rough skin areas (elbows, knees, feet)
• Oil for hand and nail care, including nourishment and softening of cuticles

Application in hair care:
• Base for a hair tip serum to reduce split ends and dryness
• Component of hair oil blends, especially for dry, damaged, frizz-prone hair
• Additive in hair masks and conditioners to improve elasticity, softness, and shine

Benefits

• Intense hydration and support of the hydrolipid barrier:
The high content of essential fatty acids helps replenish lipid losses in the stratum corneum. The oil reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leaving the skin better hydrated, softer, and smoother. Regular use supports the regeneration of damaged, dry, and dehydrated skin.

• Anti-aging and antioxidant effects:
The presence of vitamin E and ellagic acid contributes to neutralizing free radicals and protects the skin from oxidative stress and photoaging. The skin becomes more elastic, firm, and visually smoother, with fine lines and wrinkles appearing less noticeable.

• Support for problematic skin:
Strawberry seed oil exhibits astringent, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, making it a valuable addition to the care of blemish-prone, acne-prone skin. It helps soothe irritations, supports epidermal regeneration, and improves overall skin condition.

• Improvement of skin comfort and appearance:
With regular use, the skin becomes softer, smoother, more elastic, and radiant. The oil reduces tightness, roughness, and dryness, enhancing overall skin comfort.

• Hair and nail care:
Applied to hair tips, it helps reduce brittleness and split ends, providing hair with more softness and elasticity. In nail and cuticle care, it supports hydration, nourishment, and softening of the skin around the nail plate.
