Blackberry Seed Oil

Blackberry seed oil is a liquid carrier oil pressed from the seeds of the blackberry, a super tasty fruit! It is primarily comprised of linoleic and oleic fatty acids.

Dark green oil (this can vary as it’s a natural product, so be sure to read the description from your supplier)

Up to 100%

Rich, smooth

Subtle, fresh, a bit oily

Average to slow

Blackberry seed oil is liquid at room temperature.

Blackberry seed oil is oil soluble.

Blackberry seed oil is a beautiful emollient and moisturizing ingredient.

No, but it’s a lovely luxury oil.

I’ve only worked with unrefined blackberry seed oil, and I really like it.

Blackberry seed oil is rich in antioxidants and has fabulous label appeal.

Blackberry seed oil is harder to find and more expensive than many carrier oils.

I’d look at other berry oils, like cranberry seed oil. Raspberry seed oil has a somewhat similar fatty acid composition, but I find it is much lighter/faster absorbing than blackberry seed oil, so if you find blackberry seed oil on the heavy side you may prefer raspberry seed oil.

Include blackberry seed oil in the oil phase of your formulations; it can be hot or cold processed.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, blackberry seed oil should last at least one to two years. I store mine in the fridge for the longest possible shelf life.

Even at low concentrations blackberry seed oil will colour your product green.
