About this product
In many herbal traditions black seed is held in near-legendary regard, a small dark seed with a long memory. Its cold-pressed oil is easy to find. Its essential oil is not.
A total CO2 extraction captures both. This thick, brown extract holds about 2.5% essential oil within the fixed oil, roughly the same as a 2.5% dilution, a skin-safe strength. The fixed oil is highest in linoleic, oleic and palmitic fatty acids, with some components found only in black seed oil. The essential oil portion is high in rare thymoquinone, and in cymene, which also appears in cumin and thyme oils. Organic rosemary antioxidant extract is added to extend shelf life.
How to use
Patch test before using it on skin. Because the extract is thick, it pours poorly through the orifice reducer of our standard essential oil bottle: lift the reducer off with an essential oil bottle key, or draw a few drops through it with a pipette.
