What is Black Seed Oil and what does it do for you?

Let’s talk about the Oil of the Pharaohs! An ancient elixir so profoundly rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that it was reportedly used by Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and has a strong basis in Islamic tradition as well. It has been long been touted for its immense health and beauty benefits and is now becoming a key ingredient for natural personal care and beauty products in the West.

Black seed oil has a key component, Thymoquinone, which give it powerful antioxidant properties. This makes blackseed oil the perfect ingredient to fight off free radicals that notoriously damage both hair and skin cells through oxidation.  It therefore prevents aging and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other forms of skin damage. 

The presence of over 100 vitamins, and minerals, including Vitamin A, B, and C, help improve the elasticity and hydration of your skin. Being rich in plant acids, fatty acids, and amino acids also make it an excellent hydrator for skin by maintaining the skin’s lipid barrier which protects the skin from drying out. It also works to reduce the appearance of dark spots by helping in the process of regeneration of skin cells resulting in an overall clearer, brighter, and more even skin tone. 

Extremely rich in Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acids, and Linoleic Acids, it has also antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which make it an excellent ingredient to fight off acne, clogged pores, and oily skin.Containing natural antihistamine properties also make it extremely useful in the treatment of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, skin redness, breakouts, rashes etc.

Black seed oil has also been used since ancient times to improve hair and scalp health. Being loaded with amino acids, it improves not just the quality and thickness of your hair but also makes it grow faster. These essential fatty acids also ensure that it works deeply to hydrate your skin and fight off frizz. It also contains nigellone, a powerful antihistamine, which can help with alopecia related hair loss!
