Strawberry Seed Oil Serum: A soothing night time facial moisturizer made with antioxidant rich carrier oils.
Tiny strawberry seeds contain a huge bounty of polyunsaturated fatty acid, including 28-31% Omega-3 Linolenic Acid. This impressive portion of fatty acids make Strawberry Seed Oil an excellent skin care ingredient. It is particularly well suited to caring for mature and sensitive skin types, and makes it a perfect main ingredient in restorative facial serums.
We combined our gorgeous cold-pressed Strawberry Seed Oil with a blend of Organic Camellia and Evening Primrose Oils to soothe, condition, and revitalize the skin. Vitamin E Oil supplies an extra boost of moisture. Calendula, Chamomile and Helichrysum work to reduce inflammation and to soften the appearance of wrinkles and scars.
Our Strawberry Seed Oil Serum recipe is perfect for night time application. Just massage the serum into your skin at the end of your usual facial care routine. Do this after cleansing and toning and before using your usual night cream. The serum can also be used as a spot treatment to moisturize dry patches on the skin as needed.

The recipe ratios are in ml, is that the same measurement as grams? As I understand, 1 ml of water is the same proportion as gram. Can I measure this recipe in grams, just swap the ml for grams? Thank you, sounds like a lovely recipe and want to make it.
Hello Lily, yes, you are correct. Grams and mls are an equal measure. We hope that helps!
Hi. My bottle of strawberry seed oil has crystallized. White stuff all over the screw cap. NOT inside the oil but the screw part when I removed the cap. Any idea why? I hadn’t used it in 6 months or more. It doesn’t smell too bad, a bit stronger than it did, I think but not turned. I used it a few hrs ago on my face, neck & hands: did not break out. The crystals (like white powdery sugar crystals or ginger-like) are hard to remove. A wet kleenex did not manage. What do I do? Thanks!
Hello! This is something we have not experienced before with Strawberry Seed Oil, as other oils such as Carrot Oil may be. One root cause for crystallization would be incorrect temperature storage. If the temperature is too low, there could be some precipitation of the oil fraction and it is observed as a crystallization. This process is reversible after heating the oil. If you can, please forward any pictures you may have and the lot number to orderdesk@fromnaturewithlove.com, so we may better help you!
Thank you. It was a different brand. I moved & did not use it for 6 months. When I opened the bottle there was “sugar” like crystals all over the cap. I wiped them with my hand. The oil smells a bit off now but it didn’t give me a rash, just strong odor. It’s ok, thanks.
