Blackcurrant seed oil, NZ
Blackcurrant seed oil, NZ
Grown and cold-pressed in Aotearoa New Zealand, this virgin blackcurrant seed oil (Ribes nigrum) is nutrient-rich and highly valued in both skincare and haircare formulations. Dark in colour with a naturally earthy aroma, it is most often blended with lighter carrier oils in cosmetic blends.
Lightweight and easily absorbed, blackcurrant seed oil is especially popular for its nourishing properties. It contains a unique balance of essential fatty acids — including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and stearidonic acid (SDA) — which are commonly used in skincare to support hydration and skin softness.
Skincare
- Provides hydration support through its blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
- Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue
- Used in serums, creams, and facial oils for lightweight nourishment
Haircare
- Conditions and softens to improve manageability
- Often incorporated into scalp treatments for lightweight hydration
Versatility
A flexible ingredient for DIY skincare and haircare, blackcurrant seed oil blends well with other carrier oils and botanical extracts, making it a useful addition to a wide range of natural formulations.
Note: Due to its dark colour and earthy aroma, blackcurrant seed oil is usually blended with more neutral oils. Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
