Botanical Oil

Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Seed Oil

An antioxidant-rich botanical oil that helps nourish and moisturize, support the skin barrier, improve elasticity, protect against oxidative stress, and promote a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion.

Key Benefits

  • Nourishes dry skin
  • Supports moisture retention
  • Provides antioxidant support
  • Improves softness and elasticity
  • Promotes a radiant appearance

How It Works

Goji seed oil deposits linoleic- and oleic-acid-rich triglycerides across the stratum corneum, filling spaces between dry cells and reducing rough feel.

Tocopherols, phytosterols, carotenoids, and polyphenols in the unsaponifiable fraction can contribute antioxidant activity. Extraction and pressing methods materially change their concentrations and oxidative stability.

Preclinical UV-exposure research is encouraging but cannot substitute for sunscreen or demonstrate the same effect in humans. The dependable cosmetic mechanism is emollient conditioning and barrier support.

Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Seed Oil FAQs

Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.

What is goji seed oil?
It is an emollient botanical oil obtained from Lycium barbarum seeds, typically rich in linoleic and oleic acids.
Is it the same as goji berry extract?
No. Seed oil is predominantly lipid-based, while fruit extracts may contain polysaccharides, pigments, and other water- or solvent-soluble components.
What antioxidants does it contain?
Depending on processing, it may contain tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols, and polyphenols. Exact levels require supplier specifications.
Does it protect skin from the sun?
No. Preclinical photodamage research does not make goji seed oil a sunscreen. Use a tested broad-spectrum SPF for UV protection.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Its linoleic-rich profile may suit some users, but any oil can feel too rich for certain clog-prone skin. Introduce it gradually.
How should it be stored?
Keep it away from heat, light, and prolonged air exposure because its unsaturated fatty acids can oxidize.
