What it is
Broccoli Seed is a botanical carrier oil used in hair and skin care.

How to use

Where Broccoli Seed comes from
Broccoli seed oil is pressed from the seeds of the broccoli plant (Brassica oleracea var. italica).
It has a lightweight, non-greasy texture and absorbs quickly. The oil is naturally high in omega-9 fatty acids, including erucic acid, which gives it a silky, silicone-like slip. That is why it is a popular choice for adding shine to hair and a smooth finish to skin.
How to use Broccoli Seed
- Start with a few drops and warm them between your palms.
- Massage into clean skin, or work through the lengths of damp or dry hair.
- Use on its own, or add a few drops to your moisturizer or conditioner.
For external use only. Patch test on a small area before first use and stop if irritation occurs. If you are pregnant, nursing or have a medical condition, ask a healthcare professional before use.
