Blackcurrant Oil Refined

BLACKCURRANT OIL REFINED

Here's a deeply nourishing carrier oil packed with superfruit goodness: Blackcurrant Seed Oil.

Born from the Ribes nigrum plant native to Europe, black currants have been used in traditional European medicine since the Middle Ages to alleviate inflammation, sore throats and digestive issues. More recently, its rich composition of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and other essential fatty acids has helped this superfruit's seeds gain even more popularity as a natural support for skin, hair and health, with powerful anti-inflammatory properties also benefiting joint complaints like arthritis.

Expeller pressed and gently refined to maintain clarity while retaining all the seed's natural goodness, Black Currant Oil is odourless, clear, non-greasy and makes the ideal additive to personal care products or used topically on its own.
