Essentially Natural Broccoli Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a cold pressed carrier oil made from broccoli seeds and used in both skin and hair care formulations. It is especially valued for its silky, fast-spreading feel, which gives blends a smooth, conditioned finish without a heavy after-feel. The oil is naturally high in erucic acid, which contributes to the slip that makes it popular as a natural silicone-like alternative in hair care. It is oil soluble and best suited to cosmetic use.
♡ Why we love it: We chose to offer this because it gives a distinctive smoothness that can make natural hair and skin formulas feel more refined without relying on synthetic silicone-like ingredients. It is a useful oil for makers who care as much about texture and finish as they do about ingredient simplicity.

Absolutely lovely in shampoo
A little gem. I added it to my conditioner for extra slip"silicone effect" and shine. Very slight broccoli smell so you know its the real deal. Smell is absorbed by all the other products so it did not worry me at all. Its packed with healthy fatty acids, but not at all greasy. Next, its going into my overnight scalp oil treatment
My favorite oil was Pomegranate ...until Broccoli Seed oil came on the scene ! What an amazing oil ! Light , "dry" and easily absorbed into the skin . Wonderful for the face and hands. Because it is quite expensive , I thought about it for a while before taking the plunge.... and I am not disappointed at all .
Also , the service from Essentially Natural is exceptional... within days of placing the order , the Broccoli Oil was delivered. Thank you very much !
I love this oil. I use it in my shampoos and conditioners. Will definitely buy it again.
Very Helpful formy hair
