Cucumber Seed (Cucumis sativus) Carrier Oil - Aromatherapy - Therapeutic Quality 1 fl oz (30 ml)

Description: When cucumbers and natural skin care come to mind, most people will immediately think of cucumber slices being placed over puffy, tired eyes. The reason cucumbers are so often used in this way is that they contain a high amount of water which produces a cooling, calming effect.

A popular ingredient in fresh spa and skin care treatments due to the watery texture and pleasant, mild aroma. While Cucumbers have been sliced, diced, mashed, and pureed for the sake of the spa for ages, you may be surprised to hear that the oil contained in Cucumber Seeds boasts a wealth of benefits as well.

A high content of natural tocopherols and phytosterols help the skin to strengthen its lipid barrier, restoring proper moisture balance, smoothing the skin's surface and improving skin elasticity. Phytosterols are also known for their ability to nourish and stimulate the skin cells to encourage regeneration of healthy skin cells.

It is a dry, soft and smooth oil containing a high level of linoleic acid (an omega 6 essential fatty acid) - 60 -69% - and 9-16% oleic acid (an omega 9 fatty acid), making it an excellent choice for use in moisturizing formulations, especially for dry and sensitive skin. Also good for pore size reduction.

Obtained through the cold expression of dried seeds.

Packaged: 1 fl oz (30 ml) amber glass bottle with Euro plug. Safety shrink wrapped. Also available in an 8 fl oz (240 ml) bottle.

How to Use:

Face: Apply few drops on the whole face. It is usually applied at night as a moisturizing agent. It is non-greasy and non-oily and absorbs into the skin very easily and does not leave an oily feel.

Face and Body: Mix a few drops of Cucumber Oil with your favorite cream, lotion, makeup remover, shower and bath gel.

Hair: Gently massage and rub the oil on the scalp. Or Add 2-3 drops to your own favorite shampoo or conditioner
