Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil

Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil is a plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of the cloudberry (also known as baked apple berry), a Nordic berry plant. Like other seed oils used in skincare, it contains fatty acids and plant compounds that can help condition and soften the skin.In formulations, this oil functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent, helping to improve texture and maintain skin hydration through a protective film on the skin surface.

Seed oils work primarily through occlusion and emolliency. Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil sits on or near the skin surface, forming a protective layer that slows transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and helps maintain hydration levels.The fatty acid profile typical of plant seed oils also allows the ingredient to integrate into the skin's lipid matrix, contributing to barrier function and a smoother skin texture.

This oil works well in serums, moisturisers, and facial oils applied to damp skin to lock in hydration. A little goes a long way, so start with a few drops and layer it under a moisturiser if needed. It can be used daily as part of your routine, though those with very oily or acne-prone skin may prefer to use it selectively or in lower concentrations.

Generally well-tolerated in skincare formulations. As with all plant oils, there is theoretical potential for comedogenicity; those prone to fungal acne or sensitive to oils should patch test first.
