Description
Sesame oil has excellent emollient, antioxidant, and sebum-restoring properties. It is particularly recommended for the care of oily skin, where it is completely absorbed; it also acts on the dermis as a natural sunscreen (SPF 4). In Ayurvedic massage, sesame oil is the base par excellence, thanks to its significant linoleic acid content, a component that gives this product its renowned nourishing and rebalancing properties. In the East, its rejuvenating action on skin tissue has been used for centuries.
Extraction
Sesame oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant without the use of solvents.
Sesame is a herbaceous plant whose exact geographical origins remain unknown. It has long, lanceolate leaves and tubular white flowers, and can reach a meter in height. Its very small seeds can be white or black, depending on the variety.
