Black Cumin Seed Oil – Cold-Pressed Nutritional and Cosmetic Grade

Product Overview

Black Cumin Seed Oil, also known as Nigella sativa oil, is a cold-pressed fixed oil extracted from the seeds of the black cumin plant. Rich in thymoquinone, omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants, it has been valued for centuries for its nutritional, therapeutic, and cosmetic benefits. The oil possesses a warm, slightly peppery aroma and deep golden color, making it a powerful ingredient in both health supplements and skincare formulations.
