Nigella Sativa (Black Seed) Oil – Cosmetic Uses in Skin Conditioning
What Is Black Seed Oil?
Nigella Sativa Seed Oil is the fixed oil expressed from the seeds of Black Caraway (Nigella sativa). It has a long history of traditional use in Arabian, Asian and African countries.
Cosmetic Uses of Black Seed Oil
Black seed oil is primarily used in cosmetics as an emollient and skin-conditioning ingredient. It can be incorporated into skin care formulations where a plant-derived oil is desired to soften and condition the skin.
The oil also possesses antimicrobial activity against several bacteria, which has contributed to interest in its topical applications. In cosmetic formulations, however, its primary functions are emollient, perfuming and skin conditioning.
