What is Sesame Seed Oil? (Organic & Cold-Pressed)

Cold-pressed Sesame Seed Oil is, as the name suggests, pressed from sesame seeds (Sesamum Indicum Seed).

Benefits

Protects and nourishes skin and hair

Cold-pressed Sesame Seed Oil is a source of Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that helps protect skin and hair against free radicals. The oil is also rich in the fatty acid omega-6 and the minerals zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and iron, which nourish and strengthen skin and hair. Sesame seed oil keeps skin and hair soft and supple and slows down the skin aging process through its nourishing and protective action.

Cleanses the skin

Sesame seed oil cleanses the skin in a gentle way and cares for impure skin. Give your skin a thorough cleanse regularly with a mixture of 30 ml Sesame Seed Oil, 30 ml Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 tablespoon Water.

Cares for hair and scalp

By regularly massaging the scalp with warm Sesame Seed Oil, the oil can penetrate the scalp well. This way you care for hair and scalp. Moreover, Sesame Seed Oil contains many antioxidants.

For a dry scalp

Sesame seed oil cleanses and nourishes the scalp. A massage with Sesame Seed Oil gives a dry, tight scalp a soft and supple feel.

Oil pulling for your mouth

You can also rinse your mouth daily with Sesame Seed Oil. Rinsing your mouth with oil is an age-old tradition from Ayurveda, called 'oil pulling'. At 'How do you use it?' you can read how this works.

How do you use it?

Incorporate Sesame Seed Oil into your favorite DIY care products, give your scalp a deep treatment or use the oil to rinse your mouth.

Oil pulling with Sesame Seed Oil

Rinse your mouth before breakfast for 15 to 20 minutes with 1 tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil. Do this for example before you take a shower or get ready for work. Chew the oil well while rinsing. Do not swallow the oil after rinsing, but spit it out in the trash or toilet (this prevents your sink from getting clogged).

Then rinse your mouth well with warm water, optionally with half a teaspoon of salt added. Then brush your teeth as you normally do and complete your cleansing routine by scraping your tongue with a tongue scraper.

Relaxing head massage

A head massage with Sesame Seed Oil is wonderfully relaxing. Massaging the hair and scalp with the oil will immediately calm you down. Optionally add a drop of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil or Eucalyptus Essential Oil for an extra fragrant massage. Don't forget to also massage your ears nicely.

What is so special about it?

Sesame seed oil has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian way of life. The oil was even mentioned in the Vedas! Sesame seed oil nourishes, cares for and cleanses and is a beautiful ingredient to use in DIY care products.
