Strawberry

Plant

Strawberry is a widely cultivated plant primarily grown in temperate climates around the world, including countries like the United States, Poland, Spain, and Mexico. The strawberry plant thrives in well-drained soils with moderate temperatures and is valued not only for its delicious fruit but also for its seeds, which are a rich source of valuable oils. Strawberry seed oil is extracted from the tiny seeds embedded in the fruit’s surface.

Medicinal Properties

Strawberry seed oil has been traditionally recognized for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains high levels of essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, as well as vitamins A and E, which contribute to skin repair and protection. Research indicates that strawberry seed oil helps protect the skin from environmental damage, supports collagen production, and may improve skin elasticity. It is also known for its gentle soothing effects on sensitive or irritated skin, making it valuable in both cosmetic and medicinal applications.

Skin and Haircare Properties

Strawberry seed oil is lightweight and non-greasy, quickly absorbed by the skin without clogging pores. It is rich in antioxidants that protect against free radical damage and premature aging. The oil (1) deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, (2) helps reduce redness and inflammation, (3) improves skin tone and elasticity, and (4) supports natural skin barrier repair. For hair care, strawberry seed oil strengthens and conditions hair strands, helping to improve shine and reduce breakage, especially for dry or brittle hair.

Recommended Use

Strawberry seed oil is especially suitable for dry, mature, and sensitive skin types, as well as skin prone to redness or irritation. It is ideal for daily moisturizing and anti-aging skincare routines. In haircare, it works well as a nourishing treatment for fragile or damaged hair, helping to restore softness and resilience.
