Abyssinian Oil Refined

About

Abyssinian Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing plant oil extracted from the seeds of Crambe abyssinica, native to the Ethiopian highlands. It's chemically similar to your skin's natural oils and contains exceptionally high levels of omega-9 fatty acids (up to 65% erucic acid)—the highest concentration found in any naturally occurring plant oil.

Key Benefits

• 100% natural plant oil with a unique molecular structure
• Exceptionally rich in omega-9 fatty acids and antioxidants
• Ultra-lightweight and absorbs quickly without greasy residue
• Non-comedogenic—won't clog pores
• Naturally anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal
• Highly resistant to oxidisation for longer shelf life
• Richer in fatty acids and lighter-feeling than argan oil

Common Uses

• Hair treatment to reduce frizz and improve shine
• Pre-styling heat protectant for blow dryers, straighteners and curlers
• Scalp treatment to help manage dandruff and itchiness
• Facial moisturiser to support skin hydration and softness
• Anti-ageing serum to help reduce the appearance of fine lines

How to Use

• For hair: Apply a small amount to damp hair before heat styling or use as an overnight treatment
• For skin: Massage gently into clean skin as a moisturiser or targeted treatment
• Start with minimal amounts—a little goes a long way due to its lightweight nature
• Patch test on a small area first if you have sensitive skin
