Blackberry Seed Oil

Blackberry Seed Oil is a cold-pressed seed oil with linoleic acid at 50–60% and alpha-linolenic at 25–35%. The high ALA fraction is unusual among carrier oils and drives its use in skin-conditioning serums, mature skin formulations, sensitive-skin-positioned formulations and premium facial oils. High-PUFA oils oxidise readily; cool storage and an antioxidant system are advisable.
