## About
For thousands of years sesame oil has filled lamps and cooking pots, and ancient Egyptian and Ayurvedic texts sing its praises as a massage oil to keep skin smooth and supple. Warm a little between your palms and you join a very long line.Ours is Sesamum indicum, organically produced, virgin and expeller-pressed from the seeds. It is not the dark, toasted oil pressed from roasted seeds, nor an oil stripped colorless and scent free: we keep the natural character of an unprocessed oil, with a slightly nutty scent. It is light and absorbs very quickly, leaving skin smooth, supple and hydrated without a greasy feel. High in oleic and linoleic acids and rich in sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin, it is lovely in a facial serum.In Ayurveda, sesame oil is also used for oil pulling, a small amount swished in the mouth for several minutes as part of an oral care routine.DetailsBotanical name: Sesamum indicumMethod: virgin, expeller-pressed from the seedsOrganic, kosherScent: slightly nuttyNotable for: oleic and linoleic acids; sesamin, sesamol, sesamolinHow to useUse it on its own as a massage or body oil, add it to a facial serum, or follow the aromatherapist Jan Kusmirek and add it at 20% to other oils in a massage base.An oil as old as lamplight; bring it home.
