What is black seed oil?

Black seed oil, also known as black cumin seed oil, is an organic extract from the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant. Unlike common cumin, this plant is a part of a different botanical family and is mostly cultivated in regions such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Western Asia. It’s a treasured natural elixir on its own, with a history of use in traditional medicine and cosmetics that traces back to ancient Egypt. Recognized for its numerous health and beauty benefits, this powerful oil is cold-pressed from organic black cumin seeds, retaining all the essential nutrients.

Welcome a healthy shine to your locks by warming a drop between your hands and apply to the ends of your damp or dry hair. Alternatively, massage a few drops into your hair +- 30 min before washing your hair. As a scalp treatment, gently massage black seed oil into your scalp to stimulate blood flow and leave it in for 30 minutes or overnight before washing your hair.

Use black seed oil as a natural cleanser to purify your skin from make-up and dirt. Its antimicrobial properties help combat acne and soothe skin irritations and inflammation. Massage a few drops onto your face and leave on for +- 1 min, then wipe off with a moist towel or cotton pad.

4. Black seed oil as a carrier oil

Mix black seed oil with a few drops with your favorite essential oils for a therapeutic experience. 0.5% to 1% is a general guideline for dilution, but we recommend looking up the best ratio per specific essential oil. Keep in mind black seed oil does have a distinct earthy-nutty smell.
