Organic Blackseed 250g

Black seed oil (from the Nigella sativa plant), also known as black cumin or kalonji oil, is widely used in beauty products for its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It is often applied topically to address various hair and skin concerns. 

Uses for skin

• Fights acne: Black seed oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce acne-causing bacteria, redness, and swelling. Studies have shown that topical use can significantly reduce acne severity.
• Soothes skin conditions: It can be used to calm inflammation, itching, and redness associated with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
• Aids wound healing: The oil helps promote tissue growth and stimulates collagen production, which can accelerate the healing of wounds, minor cuts, and acne scars.
• Reduces signs of aging: The antioxidants in black seed oil fight free radicals that cause premature aging. Its essential fatty acids help maintain skin elasticity and lock in moisture, which can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Fights hyperpigmentation: Some evidence suggests it may help to even out skin tone and address dark spots. It has been shown to improve pigmentation in cases of vitiligo, a condition that causes a loss of skin pigment.
• Provides hydration: Rich in essential fatty acids, the oil helps maintain the skin's lipid barrier, locking in moisture to soothe dry, flaky skin. 

Uses for hair

• Promotes hair growth: The oil nourishes hair follicles with potent nutrients. Its natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties stimulate blood circulation to the scalp, which has been shown in some small studies to help with hair growth and reduce hair fall.
• Combats hair loss and thinning: By strengthening hair follicles and providing nutrients, black seed oil can help reduce thinning and breakage.
• Treats scalp conditions: It can address dandruff, dryness, and itchiness due to its antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Adds shine: By moisturizing and nourishing the hair strands, black seed oil leaves hair feeling soft, hydrated, and shiny. 

How to use black seed for beauty

Black seed oil can be incorporated into a beauty routine in several ways:

• As a daily moisturizer: After cleansing, apply 2–3 drops of black seed oil directly to the skin or add a few drops to your moisturizer.
• For spot treatments: Use a cotton swab to apply a small amount directly to acne or blemishes.
• In DIY face masks: Mix black seed oil with ingredients like honey or yogurt for a nourishing face mask.
• In hair treatments: Massage the oil directly into your scalp and hair, or add it to shampoos and masks for a nourishing boost.
• As an oral supplement: The oil can be taken orally in capsule or liquid form, though it is important to first consult a healthcare provider for proper dosage and to check for any potential side effects.
