Sesame oil, certified organic
Organic, cold pressed virgin sesame oil extracted from the seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant. One of the oldest cultivated oilseed crops, sesame oil has been used for centuries in traditional beauty practices and remains a versatile favourite in modern skincare and haircare formulations.
With its smooth texture, naturally rich composition, and distinct nutty aroma, sesame oil is well suited to moisturising and conditioning products. Its deep golden colour and balanced fatty acid profile make it a popular choice for creams, balms, massage blends, serums, and haircare treatments, particularly for those formulating for dry or dehydrated skin.
Commonly used in massage oils and aromatherapy, sesame oil is valued as a reliable carrier oil that blends easily with other botanical extracts, butters, and essential oils. In haircare, it is often included in masks and leave-in treatments where it is used to support softness, shine, and manageability.
A long-respected traditional ingredient, sesame oil continues to be a staple for DIY formulators and natural beauty enthusiasts.
