Broccoli Seed Oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the Brassica Oleracea Italica (broccoli) plants. It is naturally high in omega 6 & 9 and the oil created by cold pressing the broccoli seeds is known for outstanding non greasy moisturizing properties. It is also very hydrating and improves 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 highly resource-conscious. It uses unsprouted broccoli seeds that used to go to waste as the material for the cold pressing, to produce 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.
