Sesame Seed Oil, Refined

Sesame Seed Oil, Refined is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds, kernels, or fruit of its source plant. Refining removes impurities, colour, and odour to produce a consistent, shelf-stable oil suitable for a wide range of cosmetic formulations. O&3 sources this oil from vetted suppliers to ensure quality and traceability.

Sesame Seed Oil, Refined 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, Sesame Seed Oil, Refined 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.
