What is Broccoli Seed Oil?

What are the benefits of using Broccoli Seed Oil on your skin?

This oil is suitable for all skin types. It helps form a protective layer that retains moisture without clogging the pores, which leaves the skin feeling soft and silky. It can also help calm and soothe the skin, making it particularly useful in products for skin which is prone to conditions such as eczema and acne.

It penetrates the hair easily and doesn’t leave a greasy feel as it is a light oil that is easily absorbed.
