Umuthi Cucumber Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a 100% pure carrier oil cold pressed from the seeds of Cucumis sativus . It is a light, moisturising oil used in skincare, haircare, massage oils, creams, lotions, serums, face masks, and soap formulations. This is a cosmetic oil rather than a certified food-grade oil, so it is intended for external use only. It is especially useful when a formulation needs a lighter oil with a fresh cucumber character.
β‘ Why we love it: Cucumber Seed Oil is a lovely lightweight option for fresh-feeling skincare and haircare blends. It brings a soft, moisturising feel without making formulas feel overly heavy, which makes it easy to use across everyday beauty products.
