Sesame oil, certified organic
Organic, cold‑pressed virgin sesame oil is extracted from the seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant, one of the oldest cultivated oilseed crops. Used for centuries in traditional wellness and beauty routines, this oil is highly regarded for its smooth texture and naturally rich composition. Its deep golden colour and distinct nutty aroma make it a versatile ingredient in modern skincare and haircare formulations, particularly for those creating their own DIY beauty products.
