With its rich antioxidant properties, Ximenia oil helps protect the hair from environmental damage, while promoting a healthy scalp and strengthening the hair shafts. Say goodbye to dull and lifeless hair and hello to luscious, glossy locks.

Properties/Benefits: Ximenia oil contains Ximenynic acid, a powerful anti-inflammatory fatty acid and one that's also found in Sandalwood fruit oil.  Chemically this oil is more of a liquid wax than a vegetable oil in as much as its fatty acid chains are very long. Because of this the oil has a slightly stringy, long-flow rheology that is great for giving long-lasting barrier protection with a rich, cushioned after-feel. Also, Ximenia oil is rich in beneficial compounds including oleic acid for moisturisation and tocopherols for antioxidant protection.

Fatty acid profile:

  • Oleic acid C18:1 (an omega-9): 40% to 44%
  • Ximenynic acid C18:1: 17% to 22% 
  • Octanosenoic acid C28:1: 11% to 13%

Appearance: Cloudy, yellow semi viscous liquid

Texture: Ximenia oil has a lightweight texture that is easily absorbed by the skin and hair. It is typically non-greasy and leaves little to no residue, allowing it to be easily applied and absorbed without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling.

Common Uses:

  • Facial creams
  • Body lotions
  • Lip balms
  • Hair care products like conditioners, serums, and hair oils.

Recommended Dosage: Any - can be used neat on skin or as a speciality oil in a leave-on or rinse-off blend.

Did you know? The oil yield from the Ximenia seeds is between 38-52% and free fatty acid levels are low at less than 1%.

Suggested Storage: Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.
