If you’ve browsed our online store, you’ll see that we offer much more than black seed oil in its basic form. We also provide a range of cosmetic and skincare products that use the power of black seed oil as well.
Those who’ve only read about the benefits of black seed oil may be surprised to find it being used in cosmetics. But there’s a good reason for it. The oil contains all sorts of minerals and nutrients that can replenish your skin, as well as your health.
You see, traditionally black seed oil has been used to treat a variety of ailments and stimulate energy. Research has now shown that there are powerful benefits when applying black seed oil topicall such as restoring the look and vibrancy of your skin. Some studies even suggest that it’s useful against scars. And while we have only begun scientifically studying the Nigella sativa plant in terms of skin restoration, it has in fact been used in this manner for thousands of years. Some say this is what gave Cleopatra her silky and smooth skin and hair!
This plant has attracted the interest of people across many generations and with good reason- its diversity in treatments are unmatched. Here are four of the biggest benefits of using black seed oil on your skin.
Hair Restoration
This all comes down to the natural essential oils that your hair produces to protect itself. When you use regular hair products, you diminish the effectiveness of your body’s natural oils. Over time, this leads to weaker hair.
Our Black seed oil works in the opposite way. It actually replenishes your natural oils while also working on its own accord to restore your hair. Simply put, the many nutrients in black cumin seed oil, which include calcium and fatty acids, improve your scalp’s health. You enjoy stronger and healthier hair as a result.
You see, not only does this seed strengthen hair but restores it as well. There is no consensus on how the seed encourages growth, but many researchers suggest that it is due to antimicrobial compounds and powerful antioxidants. In short, it is more than likely a combination of the two.

Acne Protection
Acne is little more than inflammation of the skin. Our Black seed oil soap (as well as black seed oil in general) is well known for its antiinflammatory properties, particularly when it has a lot of volatile oil. This means that it does a great job of battling against acne.
Skin that produces oil excessively is more susceptible to breakouts due to a buildup in the skin’s pores. Black seed oil helps flush this fatty oil out and creates healthy skin cells that actually dissolves the fat deposits within the pores. In short, topically applied oil from this plant is a major tool against acne breakouts!
While it doesn’t get rid of pimples entirely, it does reduce the amount of redness that surrounds these blemishes. This makes them less noticeable, while also ensuring your skin doesn’t get too irritated by the inflammation. Les irritation means less scratching, which keeps your skin healthy.

Combats the Signs of Ageing
We all have to get older. This is part of life.
With the blessed seed, we can combat the effects that ageing can have on our skin. In particular, you can use black seed oil to combat wrinkles so that you look as young as you feel.
It all comes down to the antioxidants that the oil contains. When rubbed into the skin, these antioxidants get to work on combating the free radicals in your body. Free radicals gather over time and cause cumulative damage to your body that leads to more severe ageing.
Rubbing black seed oil into your skin protects free radicals from attacking it. As a result, you get fewer wrinkles.
Take a look at one simple anti-ageing remedy using black seed oil:
Mix one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of black seed oil, and one tablespoon of coconut oil until they are blended thoroughly. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for roughly ten minutes. Wash your mask off by using a washcloth and gently scrubbing in a circular motion. This will get rid of any loosened dead skin. Simple, yet very effective!
It’s a Moisturiser
Anybody who has dry skin knows how irritating it can be. As well as being itchy, it can lead to you losing confidence in your appearance. Dry skin can also lead to other cosmetic problems, such as dandruff. Furthermore, it lies at the heart of more serious skin conditions, such as eczema.
Our Black seed oil face cream is a natural moisturizer that you can use to revitalise your skin without using any unnatural chemicals. The combination of amino, fatty, and plant acids in the oil replenishes your skin and tackles the dryness that you may find irritating.
