About
Raspberry seed powder — a gentle exfoliant rich in ellagic acid and omega fatty acids. Food-grade safety and a strong polyphenol profile.
Rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed powder comes from the milled residue of berry processing. It contains ellagic acid, raspberry ketone precursors, and a high-linoleic-acid seed-oil fraction plus tocopherols. The polyphenol-dense profile gives antioxidant activity in vitro, and the seed-oil fraction contributes skin-conditioning. Long food use supports a benign oral safety profile, and topical reports are similarly favourable. No EU Annex II/III listing. Abrasiveness depends on grind size.
