What is broccoli seed oil? Broccoli Seed Oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the Brassica Oleracea Italica (broccoli) plants. Being high in omega 6 & 9, the oil created by cold pressing the broccoli seeds is nourishing and known for outstanding non greasy moisturizing properties. It is also very hydrating and improving the retention of moisture by the skin and hair. It is often used in hair care products like solid hair-masks, and shampoo and conditioner bars. In addition, it can be used very well in a wide variety of skin care products. It can be used for all hair and skin types, including sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and is especially effective for dry hair.
The cold press production of our broccoli seed oil is a nice example of upcycling and recycling without wasting precious materials. Broccoli seed is normally used to grow broccoli sprouts and broccoli plants. Only seeds which do not sprout, which used to be wasted are used for the cold pressing. The cold pressing results in broccoli seed oil and broccoli press cake. The cake which remains after pressing is ground and used as exfoliant or as flour. The cold pressing production method ensures that a high percentage of the nutrients remain in the broccoli seed oil. Our broccoli seed oil does not contain preservatives and is 100% natural.
The broccoli seed oil is high in moisturizing essential fatty acids and makes it a valuable emollient. It also contains vitamins and antioxidants like the organic sulfur compound sulforaphane, which helps to reduce skin redness and minimizes inflammatory skin conditions. The fatty acid profile, vitamins and antioxidants in the broccoli seed oil contribute to many health benefits, including improved skin health and hair health.
