Black seed oil (Nigella Sativa) base oil

The origins of black seed oil, or Nigella Sativa, can be traced back to South and Southwest Asia, where it was held in high esteem in ancient Egyptian societies, with traces found even in Tutankhamun's tomb. This powerful oil is extracted from a natural chemical trio: thymoquinone, thymohydroquinone and thymol. These give the oil its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, which make it effective in the treatment of various ailments, from asthma to eczema.
Black seed oil also shines in the skin care area. It improves skin hydration, reduces moisture loss, and stimulates natural healing while preventing blemishes. It supports anti-aging by preserving skin elasticity and treating acne through its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. Even with its oily nature, it is suitable for all skin types and can be used alone, in combination with other carrier oils, or as part of a skincare routine. Despite the oil's potency, users are advised to perform a patch test to check for any allergic reactions.
