Odor: Has a fresh, fruity raspberry scent.
Consistency: Thin, watery consistency typical of fruit juices.

Production Process:

Cultivation and Harvesting: Raspberries are cultivated and harvested at their peak ripeness to ensure high-quality juice.
Extraction: The fruit is processed to extract the juice, typically through pressing or mechanical means.
Purification: The extracted juice may be filtered to remove pulp and seeds, resulting in a clear liquid.
Formulation: The purified juice is used in cosmetic products and formulations, often as a natural ingredient or extract.

Applications:

Antioxidant: Provides antioxidant benefits to the skin, protecting it from environmental damage.
Moisturizing: Helps to hydrate and soothe the skin, improving overall skin texture.

Safety and Environmental Considerations:

Safety: Rubus Idaeus Juice is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. People with known allergies to raspberries or very sensitive skin should exercise caution.
Environmental Impact: Sustainable farming practices are important to minimize the environmental impact of raspberry cultivation and juice production.

INCI:


Cosmetic astringent. This ingredient exerts a direct effect on the skin by tightening dilated pores by contracting stratum corneum cells and removing superfluous oil.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.

Smoothing. The function of this component is to make the surface of the skin more even, reducing roughness and irregularities.

Surfactant - Foam booster. It has the effect of introducing gas bubbles into the water and affects the cleaning process by helping to spread the cleanser. Since sebum has an inhibiting effect on the bubble, more foam is produced in the second shampoo.
