This ingredient is an emollient and skin-conditioning lipid that softens skin, supports barrier feel, and adds slip to oils, balms, creams, and serums.
Is Fragaria Ananassa Seed Oil clean?
From a clean-beauty perspective, it is generally well accepted, with low irritation potential and no common restricted-list friction. Freshness matters because its high unsaturated lipid content can oxidize, which may make a formula more irritating over time.
Is Fragaria Ananassa Seed Oil sustainable?
This material is plant-derived and can be sourced from fruit-processing by-product seeds, which can improve material efficiency. It is readily biodegradable, but sustainability depends on extraction method, agricultural practices, and antioxidant-stabilized shelf life.
Is Fragaria Ananassa Seed Oil COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS-natural when produced by allowed physical processes, and it can contribute to COSMOS-organic content when the agricultural source is certified organic. It aligns well with Green Chemistry when mechanically extracted, renewable, biodegradable, and processed without problematic solvents.
How does Fragaria Ananassa Seed Oil work chemically?
This compound is a triglyceride oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, typically dominated by linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, with smaller amounts of oleic and saturated fatty acids plus natural tocopherols and phytosterols. It is commonly used around 1 to 10% in emulsions or at higher levels in anhydrous blends, and it benefits from antioxidants, opaque packaging, and cool storage due to oxidation sensitivity.
