Blackcurrant Oil (Cold Pressed & Unrefined)

What is Blackcurrant Oil?

Blackcurrant oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids that protect, nourish and condition the skin. The oil is fantastic for both blemished, oily and sensitive skin, as well as mature skin.

Blackcurrant oil is cold-pressed from the dried seeds of the blackcurrant (ribes nigrum). The oil smells somewhat fruity and is quite thick.

Benefits

Protects the skin from free radicals

Blackcurrant oil is bursting with polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants (vitamins E and C), which help to protect the skin and slow down the skin aging process. The oil contributes to healthy cell renewal and strengthens the skin barrier, so you keep looking fresh and radiant. The nourishing properties of the oil reduce signs of premature skin aging such as fine lines. Blackcurrant oil is suitable for both young and mature skin.

Cares for blemished, oily and sensitive skin

Blackcurrant oil contains a unique combination of linoleic acid and the omega-3 fatty acid stearic acid, substances that are beneficial for blemished skin. The oil can help reduce blemishes while also nourishing red, dry skin. Do you suffer from oily skin? Blackcurrant oil nourishes the skin without clogging pores.

How do you use it?

Process Blackcurrant Oil in a DIY care product or apply a few drops of the oil directly to your skin. The hair also enjoys the nourishing properties of this rich oil.

Blackcurrant oil has a fairly strong smell, so it is smart to combine it with another base oil such as Argan oil of Granary Monkey Pitomy. The oil is also absorbed faster by the skin. Or use the oil as a base oil for your DIY creations with Essential Oils.

Blackcurrant oil does not tolerate high temperatures well, so add the oil in the cooling phase of your creation process.

What is so special about it?

Blackcurrants contain up to four times as much vitamin C as oranges, making them a real superfood. This is reflected in the oil that is bursting with beneficial substances for the skin.
