Hibiscus seed oil, certified organic

Organic, cold‑pressed hibiscus seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the hibiscus plant, celebrated for its vibrant, colourful blooms. Traditionally used in tropical regions for its distinctive composition, hibiscus oil has become a favoured ingredient among DIY enthusiasts creating customised skincare and haircare formulations.

Skincare Uses

Rich in key nutrients: Formulated from a high concentration of omega‑6 linoleic acid and gamma‑tocopherol (vitamin E), this oil is commonly incorporated into recipes to impart a moisturised feel and support the skin’s natural barrier.

Subtle exfoliating properties: A small percentage of sterculic acid, along with citric and malic acids, provides a gentle exfoliating quality that many DIY formulators value for refining skin texture.

Antioxidant and astringent profile: Abundant in flavonoids, carotenoids, and tannins, hibiscus seed oil is often included in formulations intended to promote a balanced appearance. Its gentle astringency can help to tighten the skin and minimise the appearance of pores, resulting in a smoother, more refined complexion.

Enhanced sensory appeal: Its fast absorption rate and silky finish make it a popular choice for those aiming to create a luxurious skin feel.

Haircare Uses

Nourishing composition: Often added to haircare recipes, hibiscus seed oil is appreciated for its rich nutrient profile, which is valued in formulations designed to support a fuller, more voluminous hair appearance.

Scalp conditioning: Its gentle exfoliating properties are also leveraged in scalp treatments, contributing to a balanced scalp feel in DIY haircare applications.

DIY Formulation Uses

Versatile ingredient for natural recipes: With its multi‑faceted profile, hibiscus seed oil is an excellent addition to bespoke skincare, haircare, and even soapmaking formulations, offering both texture and a range of beneficial compounds.

Customisable and effective: Its unique blend of fatty acids, antioxidants, and natural acids makes it a go‑to choice for DIY enthusiasts seeking to craft natural beauty products tailored to their individual needs.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
