Abyssinian Seed Oil: Lightweight Nourishment, Deep Radiance

Our signature botanical for naturally luminous hair and skin.

Abyssinian Seed Oil is one of the most beautifully balanced oils found in nature - lightweight, vitamin-rich, and remarkably restorative. Pressed from the seeds of the Crambe abyssinica plant, it delivers a silky, elegant texture that absorbs effortlessly into both skin and hair, offering nourishment without heaviness or residue.

Why We Use Abyssinian Oil in Our Haircare

Unlike many traditional oils, Abyssinian Seed Oil has a unique molecular profile that allows it to penetrate quickly while forming a soft, breathable layer that enhances shine and protects against environmental stress.

Rich in Vitamins A, B, C, and E, it supports the hair fibre from root to tip, helping to:

  • Nourish deeply without weighing the hair down

  • Restore natural radiance, leaving hair silky and luminous

  • Smooth frizz and soften rough or dehydrated strands

  • Enhance volume in fine hair while improving manageability in thick hair

  • Support scalp health, encouraging balance and comfort

The result is hair that feels lighter, smoother, and effortlessly cared for—luxurious in a quiet, natural way.

Benefits for the Skin

Abyssinian Seed Oil is equally transformative for the skin. High in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, it offers silky hydration with a barely-there feel, making it ideal for daily use and for mature or sensitive skin types.

Its key skin benefits include:

  • Strengthening the skin barrier

  • Softening dry or textured areas

  • Supporting elasticity and suppleness

  • Calming irritation and promoting comfort

  • Leaving a smooth, radiant finish without greasiness

It brings gentle nourishment that respects the skin’s natural balance—pure, simple, and beautifully effective.
