Organic Sesame Oil is a slightly yellow oil with a characteristic sesame aroma.
This oil contains fatty by-products such as sesamol, lignans (including sesamin and sesamolin), and lecithin. It has a balanced content of oleic and linoleic acids.
Organic Sesame Oil is an excellent oil for the skin. It is well absorbed, cleanses, and the fatty by-products help protect the skin from premature aging. Sesame oil is a good carrier for active ingredients, capable of delivering them deep into the skin tissue. Additionally, it has a light SPF factor and is popular for use in sunscreens. It nourishes dry skin with poor circulation. In Ayurveda, sesame oil is used as a massage oil and for detoxification, both externally and internally.
Sesame Oil is also an excellent cooking oil. It has a light flavor and can withstand high temperatures, making it very popular in Asian cuisine.
Organic Sesame Oil (from Sesamum indicum) is rich in phospholipids, vitamin E, and lecithin, which rejuvenate and hydrate the skin. It is very useful as a mask for very dry hair, especially when there is significant dryness or flaking of the scalp. Recent studies have discovered its effectiveness as a sunscreen against UVB radiation. Ayurvedic medicine uses warm sesame oil as a massage oil and is considered a unique experience. A few minutes of daily massage with a few drops of sesame oil on the legs helps keep them warm throughout the day. It is ideal for cracked hands and feet during winter and is considered effective for rheumatism.
A significant advantage of sesame oil is its high resistance to oxidation compared to any other vegetable oil. You can add sesame oil as a "preservative" to other oils to protect them from oxidation due to its high vitamin E content.
Organic Sesame Oil can be used alone or in combination with other carrier oils for even better results. It’s also important to note that carrier oils are essential in aromatherapy as they serve as the "carrier" for essential oils.
