Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant, it reduces skin damage and mops up free radicals that contribute to skin-aging.
A study done in the year 2000 showed that red raspberry seed oil has UV protection comparable to titanium dioxide. It found that raspberry seed oil can shield against UVA induced damage by scattering as well as absorption. The SPF value was found to be 28-50 for UVB rays, and 6.75 – 7.5 for UVA rays. UVB rays are the rays that cause sunburn. UVA rays are what contribute to aging and skin cancer.
Until more studies are done, Raspberry seed oil should not replace your sunscreen, but it is an excellent oil to use under your daily sunscreen.
