Woman’s Health: How can we help you?

With an emphasis on women’s health, self-care has become increasingly popular across all markets, particularly more so over the past years in light of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Menopause and period care, once taboo topics, are now being discussed. Many new products and services are being introduced to address particular associated issues as talks of shifting requirements are needed for women. According to Fortune Business Insights, in 2021, the global woman’s health market was worth just over £30.6 billion, projected to reach £34.2 billion by 2027.

Raspberry Seed Oil is obtained from the Red Raspberry shrub Rubus idaeus L., a deciduous plant with bristly stems bearing pinnate leaves and delicate white flowers. Originating in Europe, the plant can typically reach up to 2.5 metres tall and 0.5 metres wide, thriving in a full-sun environment with moist but well-drained soil. In Europe, the harvest season begins in Autumn.

Properties, benefits & uses

floviva Raspberry Seed Oil can be used in nutritional supplements as a dietary source of omega-3 Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), functional foods and is ideal for inclusion in cosmetic formulations with properties for maintaining healthy skin and hair. It has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties and can be most effective in treating eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. The oil is highly moisturising and emollient, absorbs rapidly into the skin, and the natural vitamin E content has a well-known function in skin repair.
