Sesame Seed Oil
Silky Hydration for Dry, Delicate, or Maturing Skin
Sesame Seed Oil, Sesame indicum, expeller-pressed from whole sesame seeds, has been treasured for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic skincare. Naturally rich in fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, it is one of the most deeply nourishing oils for dry or maturing skin.
This velvety, fast-absorbing oil delivers moisture immediately, helping the skin feel hydrated, soft, and supple. Sesame oil contains vitamin E, vitamin A, and B-complex vitamins—all of which support a smoother, rejuvenated appearance.
It also contains sesamol, a potent antioxidant known for its ability to help protect skin from oxidative stress and support the visible signs of aging, making it especially beneficial for mature, thinning, or sun-exposed skin.
With its emollient properties, sesame oil helps soften dryness, improve skin texture, and support a more even, healthy-looking complexion. Its naturally occurring antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds can help soothe irritated or compromised skin, including eczema-prone areas. Because it supports the natural process of removing dead skin cells, skin may appear fresher and more radiant over time.
Deeply hydrating, sesame oil has a comedogenic rating of 3, meaning it may be too heavy for acne-prone skin. However, for dry, dehydrated, or maturing skin, it offers exceptional comfort and nutrition.
Sesame is a known allergen, so a patch test is recommended before applying it to the entire face.
Our USDA Certified Organic virgin sesame seed oil is expeller-pressed from seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant. This unrefined oil has not been bleached or deodorized and retains its bright, clear honey color and a characteristic nutty aroma.
