Black Current Seed
Black currant, is a woody shrub belonging to the family Grossulariaceae. Scientifically known as Ribes nigrum, black currant is native to northern Europe and northern Asia.

Black currant oil is mainly comprised of essential fatty acids (e.g. γ linolenic acid, linoleic, and linolenic acids). Given its overall lipid content, black currant oil is well-tolerated in oil-based emulsions and proves effective in penetrating the skin’s surface. Subsequently, black currant oil constituents demonstrate their ability to integrate amongst the skin’s membrane barrier, which results in improved water-retention and an overall increase in skin hydration. Secondly, as a source of Vitamin C and phytochemicals, black currant oil contributes antioxidant protection that helps to protect the skin from harmful free radicals present in the environment. Skin care products infused with black currant oil benefits provide an added boost in protection and moisturizing properties.

The structure of Jojoba is virtually identical to that of sebum secreted by the human sebaceous gland. Sebum is nature's way of lubricating and protecting the hair and skin. Jojoba does the same thing when age, pollutants, and the environment deplete sebum. Or if too much sebum clogs the pores or hair follicles, Jojoba oil dissolves excess sebum deposits, cleanses and restores the skin and hair's natural pH balance. Jojoba has endless uses. It can be applied to alleviate stretch marks, lighten and heal scars, treat acne and rashes, and is even used as a base for perfume. It is also beneficial to use after sunburn and prevents peeling.
