Karanja Oil, Cold Pressed

Karanja Oil, Cold Pressed is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds, kernels, or fruit of its source plant. Cold pressing preserves the oil's natural fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients without the use of heat or solvents, resulting in a richer, more nutrient-dense oil. O&3 sources this oil from vetted suppliers to ensure quality and traceability.

Karanja Oil, Cold Pressed is a valued emollient that helps restore and maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. It absorbs readily without leaving a heavy, greasy residue, making it suitable for moisturisers, serums, and body oils. Its fatty acid profile supports skin suppleness, and it contains antioxidants that help protect against environmental stressors and signs of premature ageing.

In hair care, Karanja Oil, Cold Pressed provides deep conditioning and nourishment, helping to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz, and restore shine to dry or damaged hair. It can be used in pre-shampoo treatments, hair oils, and serums. Applied to the scalp, it helps balance moisture levels and supports a healthy follicle environment.

Karanja Oil, Cold Pressed contains a blend of beneficial fatty acids typical of its botanical source family, which may include oleic acid (for softening and nourishment), linoleic acid (for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory properties), and palmitic acid (for a protective, emollient effect). The exact fatty acid profile is available on the product specification sheet.

It is certified vegan and cruelty-free. Full certification documentation, including specification sheets, allergen declarations, and MSDS, is available to download below.
