Red Raspberry Seed Oil
Price: £2.06 (Rs 182) for 15gms
My Experience
I received 15gms of both these oils from the website. Red Raspberry Oil is the most powerful natural sunscreen. Its spf rating is around 25. Wow, right? So, I had to pick this to try it out. And, it smells weird. I don’t know how to explain it.
The oil is dark in color bordering on brown. And, its supposed to be a dry oil which isn’t very oily. Well, that part is true that the oil dries up real quick. So, I used to use this oil as a moisturizer before applying sunscreen.
Did it protect me? Well, honestly, the product was too small to test out on a longer period. It got over in like 2 or 3 weeks so I can’t really say on the results. But, its definitely a product to try out.
Also, if you check out the product closely, it clearly says the expiry date which is like around 3 months from the date of manufacture. That can become a problem when one orders a product in large quantities.
Strawberry Seed Oil
Price: £2.19 (Rs 193)for 15gms
My Experience
I have been using this oil for about a month as a night moisturizer. It is dark green to black in color and smells sweet and acidic. Its again not a very oily oil unless you apply it in huge quantities. In fact, it doesn’t really help in moisturizing your skin. You definitely need something else.
But, the results of using this are amazing. The next morning my skin is all plumpy and a bit brighter and really soft. Definitely something to watch out for! But, just like the above oil, it also has a very short shelf life.
My Verdict
Red Raspberry is not easily available and not many websites also sell it. I have heard about Strawberry Oil also for the first time. So, check out the website. They have many other awesome oils. One more product I received from them was Carrot oil which I have yet to try out.

Beautiful pictures Swati.
Strawberry and Red Raspberry oils sound so nice:) I never thought that there would be oils from these as well..
hehe…only the first pic is mine
yup, apparently, you can get oils of literally everything
Both oils sound interesting and worth trying out. But shelf life has stopped me fore a moment and think again if I could use them up before they expire. nonetheless, I would give them try when came across while shopping.<3
hey Jiya…yup the shelf life is so less!! but, do try the smaller quantities
This sounds very good swati..do u use it directly or mixed with some base oil? is’nt this concentrated ?
no, these are carrier oils only, Bhumi so can be applied on skin directly
Strawberry oil!! Yumm! I wonder how that smells
haha…its sweet and acidic in smell!! i like it personally
Swati, the names of the oils are so yummy. I might drink them instead of applying them :D. But I think they are both really worth a try. Thanks for introducing us to them. Thats the awesome thing about your blog, we get information on products which we have never heard of and also a review, so that we know whether we want to buy them :). So thanks!
hehe….true
haha…you might as well say i talk about things which you might never need but always want thereby increasing the expenses
Well .. the thing is most of the products that we get to learn of here are of the natural kind .. which include strawberries, honey and such yummy stuff! .. so its better to put money in those than on the purely chemical products .. dont you think?
haha….thanks Rosh for the kind words
Ahh! I hate the expiry dates. However, I doubt the SPF is 25. Quite impossible.
i donno if it is really 25 but every resource says so…so lets just say its the highest
Hi every suncream is tested in a lab with the oils in a dish. A thick even layer is used. It is difficult to apply any suncream on how it is applied and tested in a lab. Generally the rule of thumb is half. If a product says it’s 25 when tested in a lab it’s probably more 10-15 when applied to the skin. Also because it is absorbed so quickly into the skin I would say it wouldn’t give much protection for a long period of time.
I hope this helps
yes Harry, this is helpful. thank you.
Hi Swati. I think using organic oils are much safer to use than any other products that have different chemicals in it. Great review! It is really worth to try this raspberry oil!
Both strawberry seed oil and raspberry seed oil have a shelf-life of at least 2 years. You should probably order from a different manufacturer lol
