Suitable Combinations:

  • Works well when combined with argan oil for a nourishing and restructuring action on hair, skin, and nails
  • Not recommended to combine with almond oil

Precautions to Take:

  • Ensure the oil is extracted from the seeds via a cold press. Cold pressing preserves the oil's beneficial properties and ensures its purity
  • Be careful not to confuse with an oily macerate made from maceration of seeds in sunflower oil. The macerate may be less expensive than pure oil, but it is not as effective.
  • Store in an airtight amber glass container, away from air, light, and heat to prevent oxidation.
