Black cumin seed oil, certified organic
Certified organic, cold pressed black cumin seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant. Deeply aromatic with a warm, spicy scent, this nutrient-rich oil has been used traditionally in beauty rituals throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Today it is a popular ingredient in natural skincare and haircare formulations where a balancing and conditioning oil is desired.
Lightweight and fast absorbing with a silky finish, black cumin seed oil blends well with other carrier oils and works beautifully in targeted facial serums, scalp oils, and treatment products.
