Milk Thistle Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Milk Thistle Plant (Silybum Marianum), which we commonly see throughout the land in the summer months. Milk Thistle Seed Oil is an excellent source of silymarin, a complex of bioactive compounds. It is unrefined, i.e., unsaturated, which means that as many valuable ingredients as possible are retained. Milk Thistle Seed Oil is cold-pressed, as many of the compounds contained in the oil are temperature-sensitive, so the richness of the substances given by nature is preserved and enriched with vitamin E.
Used cosmetically or topically in general, Milk Thistle Oil is known to have a light consistency and non-greasy texture that is ideal for hydrating dry or acne-prone and soothing skin that is irritated, inflamed, calloused, and rough, making it suitable for addressing conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. It helps improve the skin's complexion and addresses texture issues and scarring on the face and body, reducing the look of cellulite, stretch marks, wrinkles, and loose skin. The flavonolignans with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate damage from the harsh sun. Applied to nails, Milk Thistle Seed Oil addresses mineral deficiencies that lead to thin, brittle nails and restores nail health to promote stronger, thicker, and smoother growth.
In hair care, Milk Thistle Seed Oil is known to hydrate dryness, soften the strands, manage frizz, and repair damage, thus promoting easier manageability. Milk Thistle Seed Oil's antioxidant and nourishing properties are known to protect hair against the harsh effects of environmental stressors, such as UV rays.
It is used as a supplement to support the liver and digestive system. The oil has a mild taste and is suitable for finished dishes and smoothies. The oil is mixed with more stable oils like organic jojoba due to its short shelf life. Crafting Fresh Milk Thistle Seed Oi.
