Strawberry seed oil is an excellent source of antioxidants,EFAs (essential fatty acids the body needs for overall health but is unable to produce itself) and is principally rich in Omega Gamma Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Omega-3, Linoleic, Alpha-Linolenic and Oleic fatty acids.
It is also a rich source of Ellagic acid, (a phenolic anti-oxidant found in the phyto cells of plants) which research has revealed to work on multiple levels as an anti-inflammatory for treating and reducing post UV exposure inflammations. As well as in lightening skin affected by exposure and in treating issues of premature aging or age related skin issues e.g. wrinkles, liver spots etc. All make this versatile oil a greatly sought-after ingredient in the formulation of skin, hair and lip care creams, lotions, balms, serums and anti-aging products.
