Fragaria Ananassa

The strawberry seeds are collected as waste products from a juicing and jam operation from Eastern Europe. The seeds are being used or recycled benefiting the environment. The seeds are separated from the fruit pulp and dried for seed pressing. They are cold pressed and filtered.Cold Pressing is a mechanical screw press operation which literally squeezes the oil out of the seed at low temperatures without the use of chemicals and solvents. The oil is then filtered to remove waxes from the crude oil, leaving a clear light green oil with a faint fruit odour. Strawberry seed oil has a 1:1 ratio of omega 3 to 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) of approximately 36% each. The oil is also rich in vitamin C and E and could be used in light moisturising creams for protecting skin cells on the face and body.

Applied topically, Tamanu oil has been found to be beneficial for treating a wide array of complaints, from the healing of cuts and burns to helping to clear up acne and psoriasis. Massaged into the skin it can also ease muscular problems, and help rheumatism and neuralgia. It is also used by Polynesian women as a moisturiser for promoting smooth, healthy and clear skin.

While it's been traditionally used as a topical skin remedy by Pacific islanders for thousands of years, mounting research is now confirming how and why it is able to produce such positive results.
