Essentially Natural Black Currant Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a rich, slow-absorbing botanical oil pressed from black currant seeds. It is often chosen for dry or mature-feel skin routines because it has a more substantial, cushioning texture than many lighter carrier oils. In hair care it can help support scalp comfort and improve the feel of dry lengths. This oil is heat sensitive, so it is best used without high heat and added during cool down in formulations.
