Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Premium Quality: Extracted from the Sesamum indicum seeds, the extra virgin variety of Sesame Seed Carrier Oil is cold pressed and unrefined, preserving its natural nutrient composition.

Lightweight and Easily Absorbed: Despite its rich fatty acid content, Extra Virgin Sesame Seed Oil absorbs well into the skin, offering a smooth glide without a greasy finish. Its balanced consistency is suitable for a wide range of formulations.

Naturally Rich Composition: Sesame Seed Extra Virgin is valued for its natural content of essential fatty acids, particularly oleic and linoleic acids, as well as its abundance of Vitamin E and phytosterols.

Versatile Ingredient: With its stable oxidative profile and nourishing properties, Sesame Seed Carrier Oil is widely used as a base or supporting oil in skin care, hair care, and massage formulations. Its unrefined nature is recommended for clean-label botanical products.


DESCRIPTION

Sesame Seed Carrier Oil – Extra Virgin is cold pressed from the seeds of Sesamum indicum and remains unrefined to preserve its natural composition and golden hue. This variety offers a balance of emollient properties, light texture, and skin-friendly absorption, making it well-suited for numerous personal care applications.

Extra Virgin Sesame Seed Oil retains the full spectrum of constituents, including Vitamin E, sterols, and essential fatty acids. As a result, it functions effectively as a moisturizing and conditioning agent in emulsions, serums, balms, and oil blends. Its mild aroma and stable consistency make it compatible with essential oils and other botanical actives.

In professional formulation settings, Sesame Seed Extra Virgin Oil is commonly incorporated into both rinse-off and leave-on products to provide softness and moisture retention without overwhelming the formulation. Its unrefined status and traditional origin also appeal to brands focusing on natural and minimally processed ingredients.


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Daily Skin Care: Incorporate Sesame Seed Extra Virgin at 3–10% in facial lotions, moisturizers, and serums to enhance formulation texture.
  • Hair Care Formulations: Sesame Seed Carrier Oil is recommended at 2–5% in hair oils, scalp treatments, and conditioning masks.
  • Body Creams and Lotions: Blend into emulsions at 5–15% to enhance emollience and spreadability in total body products.
  • Massage and Spa Products: Use Sesame Seed Extra Virgin as a base oil or combine with other carrier oils at 10–100% for massage blends, where its glide and absorption profile contribute to a smooth application.
