Organic Broccoli Seed Oil Skincare Benefits

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil skincare benefits include:

• Emollient
• Moisturising
• Skin Conditioning
• Anti-ageing
• Skin regeneration
• Reduces water loss
• Soothes & smooths
• Skin barrier repair
• Excellent base for makeup

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil has many skincare applications. Despite being highly moisturising, and protective, Organic Broccoli Seed Oil is non-greasy, absorbing quickly into the skin.

It is an emollient oil, making it soothing, hydrating and protective. Emollients create a protective film on the outer layer of the skin, trapping in moisture. They are often used to help manage dry, itchy, eruptive and scaly skin, which are typically experienced in cases of eczema, psoriasis and all other inflammatory skin conditions.

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil is extremely high in the monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, Erucic Acid, (up to 50%), which is responsible for the silicone-like action it exerts. Erucic Acid helps to protect against environmental damage. It soothes, reduces redness and improves the health of the moisture barrier of the skin.

The beta-carotene content of Organic Broccoli Seed Oil acts as a natural retinol, which contributes to the anti-ageing abilities of this oil.

The sulphur compounds within Organic Broccoli Seed Oil stimulate the production of enzymes, which exert antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.

The sulforaphane content of Organic Broccoli Seed Oil protects the skin against UV radiation and sunburn.

The arachidonic acid content of Organic Broccoli Seed Oil is one of the key reasons why this oil is so soothing. Arachidonic acid is the second most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the epidermis. Arachidonic acid exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and wound-healing actions.

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil is one of the more aromatic carrier oils, and thus should be used in conjunction with other oils.

Adding essential oils is particularly helpful, but diluting Organic Broccoli Seed Oil will also reduce the aromatic potency of this deeply beneficial oil.

Using Organic Broccoli Seed Oil For Skincare

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil can be used without being diluted with other oils. However, as it is an aromatic oil, it is best diluted by other carrier oils and essential oils.

Add up to 10% Organic Broccoli Seed Oil to facial oil formulations.

Add up to 50% Organic Broccoli Seed Oil to body oil formulations.

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil Haircare Benefits

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil has profound hair conditioning, and protective capabilities, preventing environmental damage.

It is used in natural hair care formulations as a silicone alternative, imparting a non-greasy sheen and lustre. It is especially beneficial for dry, damaged and unmanageable hair.

Organic Broccoli Seed Oil can be added to shampoo and conditioner.

Use up to 5% Organic Broccoli Seed Oil for best results.

An Additional Word On Erucic Acid

Erucic Acid acts and feels like a natural silicone. It is therefore possible to add oils like Organic Broccoli Seed Oil to emulate the silicone-based ingredients in skin and hair preparations, without running the risk of negative health concerns which accompany petrochemical, synthetic silicones.

Many beauty and personal care products contain silicone, or silicone-based ingredients, like dimethicone. This is especially true of haircare products and makeup. Silicone helps makeup to stay in place, and improves the condition, appearance and feel of hair, making it smoother, more lustrous and shiny.

Concerns around unnatural silicone oils abound, owing to the plastic-like, artificial barrier they create on the skin. This impervious, unnatural coating on the skin prevents normal skin function, leading to exponential damage over time, often worsening the conditions that artificial silicone oils are used to treat.
