Sesame seed Oil

Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil is a potent antioxidant and hydrating agent that moisturizes and protects the skin. It is an excellent ingredient for products targeting premature aging of the skin and hair due to its rich nutrient profile like vitamins E and B. This oil also offers a mild natural sun protection factor, providing an additional defense against the harmful UV rays of the sun. Commonly known as sesame oil, Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil appears as a light yellow to golden oil with a mild, nutty aroma. Its low viscosity allows it to glide through and spread easily. Sesame oil is quite beneficial and safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products.
