Black seed oil is cold-pressed and unrefined from Nigella sativa (black seed, or black cumin) into a light-to-medium oil with a rich, warm, nutty aroma and a deep golden-to-amber color. It's naturally rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and trace minerals.
It absorbs well without heaviness, and many people use it as a daily face or body oil, an addition to bathwater, or a booster mixed into lotions, creams, and soaps. Its warm, distinctly nutty aroma can be softened by blending with a more neutral carrier like jojoba or grape seed.
It also works well as a carrier base for essential oil blends, at roughly 1% dilution for the face or 2–3% for the body.
For external use only, not for ingestion. Patch test before first use, avoid contact with eyes, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
