We are happy to introduce an oil that maybe only a few of you have heard about, Crambe Seed Oil. With regard to food miles, it is organically grown in England just 7 miles from the extraction plant. Of course where you live will affect the final food miles for the product. Crambe Abyssinica has been grown in the UK for many years. The seed is rich in an oil that is highly valued due to the unique characteristics which enable it to be used in a wide range of applications.

Skin Care

It has unique qualities for skin care. Crambe Seed Oil is an excellent natural lubricant and emollient. It has a unique skin-feel, combining a light texture with enhanced slip properties, without feeling too greasy; this is attributed to its special lipid profile. Crambe oil has superior stability compared to other oils and this combined with its enhanced slip properties make it an ideal natural alternative to mineral oils and silicones. Just 1000kg has been produced organically and it’s more like a trade secret to keep low key.

It is a long soft oil perfect for long strokes in massage. Compared to Jojoba Oil, Crambe Seed Oil has much larger quantities of Erucic Acid. Crambe Seed Oil is similar to Broccoli Seed Oil with both around 50% Erucic Acid (C22:1), an Omega-9 fatty acid that helps to give a glossy shine to hair just like silicone would. It also gives shine and gloss to dull and lifeless skin. The oil is now becoming increasingly popular as a natural option to silicone in hair and styling products where shine and lustre is needed. Crambe, however, is much cheaper and is oilier.

Efficacy data
Trials carried out by UK formulation experts have identified that Crambe oil has a unique skin-feel and lubricity. It helps protect the skin surface from drying whilst improving barrier function. Application of the oil directly to the skin leaves it feeling softer and smoother whilst not drying out as quickly as some other oils.

Applications and dosages

We recommend Crambe Seed Oil for use in products which are designed to give enhanced slip/lubricity and protection. Due to its high stability and skin-feel, Crambe Seed Oil may be suitable as a natural replacement for synthetic oils such as mineral oils and silicones.
