Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil is a rich source of omega-6 fatty acids, specifically comprising 50-53% linoleic acid and 29-33% gamma-linolenic acid, alongside beneficial phenolic compounds. These constituents provide potent antioxidant activity, evidenced by its ability to enhance cellular antioxidant enzyme levels (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) in HepG2 cells, thus mitigating oxidative stress. The presence of these essential fatty acids also supports the integrity of the skin's barrier and delivers profound moisturization.

Stability

The oxidative stability of Rubus Coreanus Seed Oil can vary substantially based on its processing method. Oil extracted from fresh seeds exhibits robust stability with a low free fatty acid content of 0.50%, whereas oil derived from wine processing waste has demonstrated significantly reduced stability and a much higher free fatty acid content of 73.14%. It is recommended to store this oil in a cool, dark place away from heat to minimize oxidation.
