Back to basics: What is Broccoli Seed Oil?
Broccoli Seed Oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of broccoli plants—basically what it sounds like! It is super rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids, which makes it an excellent ingredient for skincare products. Packed with vitamin A and antioxidants, it works as a natural retinol.
Let’s repeat that for those in the back: it’s nature’s retinol.
Think smoother, firmer, younger looking skin without the chemicals. That’s right, this baby will help you age backwards! As if ‘natural retinol’ wasn’t enough to make you run not walk, this powerful ingredient fights free radical damage and promotes smooth, youthful-looking skin, but without the risk of irritation that retinol can have.
What are the benefits of Broccoli Seed Oil for your face and skin?
- Dewy, moisturized the skin
- Broccoli Seed Oil is a great natural moisturizer. It helps to hydrate and soften the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is high in Omega 6 + 9 which helps to calm irritated and stressed skin. We even include it in our lube for this very reason.
- Fewer signs of aging
- Fee radicals are not our friend. Broccoli seed oil is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause premature aging, wrinkles, and fine lines.
- Healthy, glowy, regenerated skin
- Broccoli Seed Oil contains Vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production. Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin firm and supple.
- Since it contains Vitamin C you always want to be on the look out for products that use it in combination with Sodium Benzoate. Read about this super common skin product stabilizer that’s often used in organic products should always be avoided in combination with Vitamin C!
