Elderberry Seed oil is a marvelous carrier oil from Ukraine, which is wild-harvested from non-war-torn areas and then cold-pressed to yield a highly nutritious oil. We were immediately drawn to this oil for two reasons. Firstly, it is a premium quality oil that is rich in nutrients, making it highly beneficial for the skin and hair. Secondly, we wanted to support the producer who put his life on the line to harvest the berries used to make this oil.
Elderberry, also known as Black Lilac in Europe, is an exalted gem in the beauty industry due to its many skin and hair benefits. The fruit and seed extracts of Elderberry are used to correct a wide range of skin and hair ailments. Elderberry Seed oil is a fast-absorbing oil that deeply moisturizes, softens, and protects the skin, leaving it feeling supple and hydrated. It is particularly beneficial for mature skin types as it provides intensive nourishment, helping to guard against fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. When used in haircare applications, it nourishes the hair and scalp, leaving the hair soft and hydrated without any greasiness.
What's more, our elderberry oil has an exceptionally balanced essential fatty profile that is rich in all the major omegas, including linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and oleic acid. This makes it a powerful ingredient in any beauty product formula, providing a host of benefits for the skin and hair.
Elderberry oil has a deep golden color with a soft green tint and a mild aroma that is reminiscent of fresh-cut grass with a sweet fruity note. It is considered a lightweight oil with a rich emollience, offering spreadability and instant moisture without any heaviness. It is a perfect ingredient for any mature skincare formula and any haircare formula targeting repair and scalp dryness.
