INCI: Sesamum indicum

Escentia Sesame Oil - Refined is a refined carrier oil from Sesamum indicum , used in skincare, massage blends, cleansers, and DIY cosmetic formulations where a rich emollient oil is wanted. It is especially useful in body oils and cream or lotion blends because it brings a more nourishing, cushiony skin feel. This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it is used as a base oil on its own or blended with other compatible oils. Its naturally robust character means many makers prefer to use it as part of a blend rather than as the only oil in a formula.

♡ Why we love it: Sesame oil is one of those reliable, hardworking carrier oils that adds richness and depth to a formulation without making things complicated. It is especially lovely in massage oils and moisturising blends where you want a more comforting, emollient finish.
