Blackseed / Cumin Oil

Derived from the seeds of the black cumin plant (Nigella sativa), Black Seed Oil is a distinctive cosmetic-grade botanical oil valued for its deep color and robust character. It is typically cold pressed and may be refined or filtered to improve stability while maintaining its natural profile. Due to its naturally strong aroma and rich composition, Black Seed Oil is most often used at low levels and blended with other carrier oils in cosmetic formulations.

Black Seed Oil is commonly incorporated into skincare, haircare, scalp products, soaps, and specialty cosmetic formulations where functional botanical oils are desired.

• Hair & Scalp Products: 1 – 10% when blended
