Features: Abyssinian Seed (Crambe) Refined Oil is a high-performance cosmetic oil known for its unique fatty acid profile and exceptional sensory properties. Naturally rich in erucic acid, it delivers a distinctive silky, non-greasy finish that enhances the feel of both skincare and haircare formulations. Often used as a natural alternative to heavier oils, it helps create lightweight, fast-absorbing products while improving spreadability and overall formulation performance.
Properties/Benefits: Abyssinian Seed Oil is characterised by a high concentration of long-chain fatty acids, particularly erucic acid (omega-9), which contributes to its conditioning and moisture-retaining properties. On the skin, it acts as an emollient, helping to support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss, leaving the skin feeling smooth and hydrated. In haircare applications, its unique molecular structure allows it to coat the hair fibre, improving softness, shine and manageability without weighing the hair down.
