Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea

Obtained From: Seeds

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.
