Sesame Oil (Sesamum Indicum)

Sesamum indicum

Not just for topping burger buns, sesame seeds produce a rich oil that deeply hydrates and protects the skin and hair.

What are the benefits of the cold-pressing method?

Cold-pressing is the most natural method of obtaining oil from a plant’s fruits or seeds. No heat, solvents, or other techniques are applied to the raw materials except mechanical pressure. This yields a pure and unaltered oil, often aromatic.

What are the benefits for you?

Rich in vitamin E tocopherol, for soothed, firmer looking skin.

Rich in fatty acids and lecithin — a highly moisturizing and protective mixture for the skin and hair.

Contains sesamol, a natural preservative that helps the oil remain stable and highly resistant to oxidation, which also allows product blends to last longer.

Unique stories

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a strong-smelling flowering herb. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, it is highly drought-resistant and is considered the oldest oilseed crop ever cultivated by man. Growing up to three feet tall, the grass produces seed capsules that suddenly burst to disperse the seeds far and wide.

The saying "open sesame" in the Arabian Nights tale comes from the fact that, at the time, some believed that sesame seeds had magical powers. They were said to open locks and hidden paths and bring good fortune. Or was it because of the sight of the plant's pods bursting open?
