What are the benefits?

Skin Benefits: Crambe abyssinica seed oil is recognized for its emollient properties. As an emollient, it helps to maintain the skin's barrier function, thereby assisting in retaining moisture within the skin. This action can contribute to a hydrated, soft, and smooth skin appearance. The oil is composed of fatty acids, including linoleic and oleic acids, which are known to help condition the skin. Its unique molecular structure and fatty acid composition allow it to provide a non-greasy feel upon application, absorbing readily into the skin. Comedogenic Rating : 0 - 1
Hair Benefits: Abyssinian oil serves as a high-performance emollient that enhances the overall attractiveness and manageability of the hair. Its unique fatty acid profile allows it to coat the hair fiber with a lightweight, non-greasy film, effectively smoothing the cuticle to improve luster and shine. By providing superior lubricity, it eases detangling and reduces the appearance of frizz, while simultaneously acting as a protective barrier against environmental stressors and mechanical breakage.
