INCI: Brassica oleracea italica seed oil

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.
