Sesame oil / Cold pressed

It is obtained by cold crushing of sesame seeds. This oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A, E and B. Sesame oil contains an equal proportion of oleic and linoleic acids, which means that it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It contains phenolic compounds (sesamol) and lignans (sesamin, sesamolin).

It is very light and can be used in hair and scalp care. It is a natural antioxidant and helps reduce the visibility of scars on the skin. It is intended for dry skin, prone to frequent inflammatory processes and poor microcirculation. It is excellent for making cosmetic preparations due to its stability and high-quality emulsion systems.

It is pleasant in massages, and has a weak but noticeable UV protection factor, so it is added to sun care cosmetics, along with similar oils (shea butter, Chilean hazelnut). It is often used to make macerates of medicinal herbs, because it is resistant to oxidation.
Caution for people who are allergic to sesame.
