At Content, when summer draws to a close, we’re always on the hunt for deeply nourishing ingredients to help boost our skins health as the weather turns cooler. If you’ve just come back from holiday, and are looking to feed your skin and prepare it for the seasonal changes as we move toward Autumn, then we have an interesting ingredient for you!
THE HISTORY:
Crambe Abyssinica is a little known but incredibly useful plant. Originating in the Mediterranean region and parts of eastern Africa, this hardy plant produces a seed oil which has some very unique properties. With a highly biodegradable profile, this oil has been used as a natural substitute for synthetic mineral oils. Crambe Abyssinica has actually been grown in the UK for many years, and is giving rapeseed oil a run for its money in terms of high essential fatty acid content! The more, the definitely merrier!
THE BENEFITS:
Often compared to Jojoba Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil is higher in Erucic Acid. For the skin, this means a strong concentration of intensely nourishing Omega 9, a non-essential fatty acid*. As a very stable and long lasting seed oil it rapidly penetrates the outer layers of the epidermis, deeply nourishing the skin while providing a smooth, soft layer of protection against dehydration. This oil closely mimics human sebum and can control the overproduction of sebum which can lead to acne and is great for skins that loose moisture easily. Being very silky in texture, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil makes a great natural alternative to silicone in natural skincare products, as it provides a beautifully soft, shine on the skin, without sacrificing skin health.
