The beauty secret your skin has been waiting for: plum and raspberry seed oil

4. November 2025

Facial oils have become the superstars of the beauty world over the past decade. While people used to fear that they would make the skin oily or clog the pores, it is now clear: a correctly chosen oil can restore the skin’s balance, bring radiance and lock in moisture better than any cream.

Nurme’s range includes two real pearls of nature – plum oil and raspberry seed oil, both of which are cold-pressed, nutrient-rich and suitable for daily care on every skin type.

Plum oil – golden luxury that gives the skin vitality

Cold-pressed plum oil (Prunus Domestica Seed Oil) is one of the most valued plant oils used in face, body and hair care. It is obtained from plum seeds without heat or chemicals, which helps preserve all the natural vitamins and fatty acids in their pure form.

Plum oil is light, quickly absorbed and non-comedogenic, which makes it suitable for dry, sensitive and combination skin alike.

What makes plum oil special?

– Moisturising and nutrient-rich

Contains an abundance of oleic acid and linoleic acid, which help maintain the skin’s moisture and elasticity. These fatty acids support the skin’s natural protective barrier and softness.

– Antioxidant protection

A naturally high content of vitamin E helps protect the skin against environmental effects and oxidative stress, helping to keep the skin fresh and vital.

– Soothing and smoothing effect

Plum oil helps reduce discomfort caused by dryness or the weather and makes the skin soft and more even.

– Light and silky texture

The oil absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy feeling and is well suited for use even before make-up.

Natural active ingredients found in plum oil:

• Vitamin E
• Vitamin A
• Oleic acid (omega-9)
• Linoleic acid (omega-6)

Raspberry seed oil – a natural soother for sensitive skin

Cold-pressed raspberry seed oil (Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil) is valued for its soothing, moisturising and antioxidant-rich composition. It is obtained from raspberry seeds and, in addition to natural vitamin E, contains valuable omega fatty acids and a blend of phytosterols that support the skin’s natural balance.

Why is raspberry seed oil special?

– Soothing and balancing

A high content of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid helps strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and supports the calming of the skin. Especially well suited to sensitive and red-prone skin.

– Antioxidant-rich composition

Vitamin E and natural carotenoids help protect the skin against free radicals, which can accelerate the ageing process. This way the skin stays radiant and healthy-looking for longer.

– Moisturising and protective

Phytosterols and fatty acids help retain the skin’s moisture and support its resistance to external influences. After use the skin feels more even and comfortable.

– Light and quickly absorbed

Despite being nutrient-rich, raspberry seed oil has an airy texture and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin smooth and non-greasy.

Natural active ingredients in raspberry seed oil:

• Linoleic acid (omega-6)
• Alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3)
• Vitamin E
• Phytosterols
• Carotenoids

How to use facial oils?

• Directly on the skin:
  apply a few drops to damp, clean skin.
• Mixed into a cream:
  add a drop to your favourite moisturiser to boost its effect.
• For a facial massage:
  gentle care that revives the skin and calms the mind.
• In your evening routine:
  lock in moisture and let the skin recover overnight.

Which one suits you better?

1. If your skin needs moisture, softness and a luxurious glow, choose plum oil.
2. If your skin is sensitive, red-prone or needs soothing and protection, choose raspberry seed oil.
