Kamelya Black Cumin Seed Carrier Oil

Description and Uses of Black Seed Oil

Black seed oil (Nigella sativa), also called “black cumin,” is a precious vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of a plant cultivated for over 2000 years in the Middle East and ancient Egypt. It was renowned for its traditional uses in skin and scalp care. Today, it stands out as an exceptional cosmetic ingredient, recognized for its nourishing, softening, and rebalancing qualities.

Naturally concentrated in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, it helps support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of fragile areas, and provide a soothing sensation. Used regularly, it helps the skin appear smoother and more uniform, while offering a soft and comfortable feel.

In hair care, black seed oil helps revitalize dull and devitalized hair, soften the scalp, and restore shine and luster to the lengths.
