Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Processing Type: Unrefined

Obtained From: Seeds

Origin: Canada

Description: The Broccoli Seed Carrier Oil is extracted using the cold press method. The fatty acid composition of this oil is unique and composed of approximately 50% Erucic Acid (22:1). Its excellent anti-oxidant profile makes Brocccoli Seed Oil an easy substitute for the activity of silicones where the film forming activity results in a natural shine, and cuticle smoothing of the hair while preventing oxidation. The Broccoli Seed Oil is light, non-greasy, and is easily absorbed into the skin.

Color: Light golden to a deeper green.

Aromatic Description: Broccoli Seed Oil has an herbaceous scent that is noticeable if used in large amounts in a product. To avoid this distinct scent, formulators should take this into account.

Common Uses: Broccoli Seed Oil is fast becoming the preferred oil for hair-care products, as it imparts a distinctive shine to the hair beyond that which is given by other plant oils, and has been informally referred to as a 'natural' dimethicone. It is particularly effective in hair-care preparations such as shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, but also valued in lotions, balms, creams, and serums.

Consistency: A slightly viscous liquid oil.

Absorption: Broccoli Seed Oil creates a light gloss on the hair and is absorbed by the skin fairly quickly compared to other carrier oils.

Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.

Cautions: None Known, but is not for internal use.

Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.

The best quality and the best price I could find in Canada. Regarding this oil: I used it as a seal for my curly hair. Makes beautiful curls. Regarding the smell: this is virgin broccoli oil, and it smells a bit like broccoli. I do not like deodorized broccoli oils because it means that the oil has been subjected to a process and could lose its best properties, so I advise you to be patient with the smell: it does not last long and if you put an essential oil (like Ylang- Ylang), you can easily override it.

I have thick Asian, aging, chemically dried and damaged hair due to 20 years of hair colouring which has improved a lot due to my religious use of babassu oil. However, I am always searching for a better hair oil which would bring back my sleek shiny black hair back as well as softens it. This oil does not do as claimed for my hair (not the way babassu oil does..). On hair, I give it 2 stars. but I love it on my face as it sinks in beautifully. Now I mixed it into my regular daily serum of several oils and essential oils which I purchased all from NDA. 5 stars. How I wish there were an NDA in Vancouver BC!

Love it! One of my favourite oils. I mix it with sweet almond oil (25-30% to 70-75%) and use this mix on my face and neck after misting with toner, also apply this mix around my eyes (absorbs very well, no irritation, no puffiness). I notice some tightening properties of broccoli seed oil, which is a great bonus! Use it in my hair formulas as well. Thanks for the great product!

Price of this has skyrocketed... I'm disappointing especially since broccoli seeds are easy to produce but having said that I used this oil before and really liked it so I might just buy it again.

Amazing amazing amazing! My search is officially over for the best all-around facial oil! I have dry skin and some hormonal issues and after 2 months my skin is totally back under control. My skin is soft and glowing! Old scars and sunspots are fading and all blackheads are GONE! I love that this oil is high in vitamin C & A and that it is a natural silicone - great primer under makeup - it blurs all imperfections! :) I also love that it has SPF protection and prevents cancer. It is super moisturizing yet non-greasy and absorbs in seconds. I haven't tried in my curly hair but am planning to because of it's natural silicone properties - it is supposed to be amazing on frizz!

I love this oil! I made an herbal infusion with rosemary and use it on the ends of my hair to keep it soft and shiny. I don't like using silicones because it seals the hair and prevents conditioning agents from penetrating, so after the initial glossing effect, it ends up drier. I really wanted to try the broccoli oil as a substitute and it did not disappoint. I have pretty long hair and 2 pumps from the green zelo 50 ml bottle was way too much. Just a little dab goes a long way. It does have a strong odour, reminiscent of hemp oil, but in small amounts on my hair it is unnoticeable.

This oil is a good addition to smoothing hair oil, and is especially nice for very curly hair, or black hair. Leaves the hair soft and shiny.

Broccoli seed oil has a slight scent like like any sulfur item does but when lavender is added, it's no longer detectable. It's a fantastic hair product and more over it's awesome for sensitive skin. Highly recommended.
