Black Current Seed Oil for Dry Skin Repair

In my quest to feature boreal forest plant life in my formulations, I came across Black Current Seed Oil. Over the holidays I've been busy creating a new hydrating lotion formula that I plan to have available in time for the spring. I've been using this oil as a face care ingredient and the results have been promising - which is saying a lot considering the Polar Vortex we've been experiencing in Saskatchewan for this winter!

Here's some info about what makes Black Currant Seed Oil a power player in the world of natural skin care. Cold-pressed Blackcurrant Seed Oil is rich in gamma linolenic acid (Omega 6 essential fatty acid) and stearidonic acid (Omega 3 essential fatty acid) which helps to keep skin hydrated, firmer and younger looking. The oil has approx 27-34% essential fatty acid content.

Blackcurrant Seed Oil is an effective moisturizer and helps to maintain the elasticity of skin. It is suitable for all skin types but is particularly good for sensitive, dry, devitalized, damaged and aging skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can be helpful for itchy, inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
