Nigella Oil for Skin care

Product Description

Cold pressed from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant which is an annual flowering plant, the oil from the seeds has often been held in high regard by ancient medicine 'Hold on to the use of the black seed, for it has a remedy for every illness except death'.

The plant grows to 20-30cm in height with finely divided, linear leaves. The flowers are delicate, and usually coloured pale blue and white, with five to ten petals.

The fruit is a large and inflated capsule composed of three to seven follicles, each containing the plants seeds. It is from these seeds that the oil is extracted. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids and with it's own unique fatty acid profile, Black Seed oil is regenerating and instantly softening to the skin.

The oil is ideal for use in massage oil that is designed to stimulate the digestive system, whilst it is energising for the body and immune system. Black seed oil is naturally anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial making it an ideal component to helping clear skin conditions.
