Broccoli seed oil

INCI: Brassica Oleracea Italica Seed Oil

A precious and exceptionally rare golden-yellow oil with a sweet, nutty scent that faintly resembles broccoli. It can be used as a silicone alternative for caring for hair ends.

Extraction method: cold pressed

Broccoli seed oil is a light, fast-absorbing plant oil obtained by cold pressing broccoli seeds. In the world of natural cosmetics it has become very popular due to its unique silky feel, and is often described as a natural alternative to silicones.
