Product FAQs
1. What is cumin black seed oil used for?
Black Cumin Seed Carrier Oil is rich in Linolenic Acid (Omega-6) and Linoleic Acid (Omega-3), making it an effective emollient when used in place of a carrier oil in skin care and hair care formulations. Black Cumin Seed Oil is suitable for use on acne-prone, dry, sensitive, and mature skin types, and is safe enough to apply directly onto the skin. Use Black Cumin Seed Carrier Oil alone or blended with your favorite Essential Oils. To enhance your existing skin care products, add up to 2 drops of Black Cumin Seed Carrier Oil to a moisturizer and apply it to clean skin for a radiant appearance. To support hair and scalp health, massage Black Cumin Seed Oil into the scalp, and apply it to the mid sections to the ends of the hair for a healthy sheen.
