Broccoli Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Brassica oleracea italica to produce an extra virgin, unrefined, light green oil. The oil has no odor and the fatty acid profile of this oil provides fantastic oxidative balance and non-greasy moisturizing properties. This makes Broccoli Seed Oil a beneficial emollient in cosmetics and personal care products.
Broccoli Seed Oil is earning reputation as a great natural alternative to the silicone in shampoos, conditioners and other styling products that give off sheen and luster. The unique structure of fatty acids includes roughly 50% Erucic acid (C22:1). Erucic acid is an Omega-9 fatty acid that is helpful for providing a silicone-like shine to hair. When added to massage products, creams and lotions, the fast penetrating action of Broccoli Seed Oil helps lessen the greasy “after feel” and it quickly hydrates the skin.

“Just a couple drops rubbed between hands and applied to wet hair before blowdrying makes it shine and protects from thermal damage. Doesn’t build up on the hair or make it stringy like silicone styling products. Makes my fine hair have healthy shine and softness without weighing it down. The oil works on the hair unlike silicones which only coat it.” Fawnie @ Skincaretalk.com
