Sesame Oil Toasted Unrefined

Sesame oil, which comes from sesame seeds, is one of the lesser known vegetable oils, but is in fact one of the healthiest alternatives to normal vegetable oil options. Sesame seeds, which are known by the scientific name Sesamum indicum, are small yellowish brown seeds that are primarily found in Africa, but they also grow in smaller numbers on the Indian subcontinent.

Uses and benefits:

1. Hair care

Sesame oil has traditionally been used to improve the health of hair. It can help to darken hair color and also eliminate hair loss.

2. Skin care

Sesame oil is rich in zinc, which is one of the most important minerals in the body for your skin. It can increase skin elasticity and smoothness, helping to reduce the appearance of age spots and eliminate skin conditions, including premature aging.

3. Heart Health

Like most vegetable oils, sesame oil is so helpful and delicious in foods because of its fatty acid content. Sesame oil contains a wide range of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including sesamol and sesamin. This can keep the cardiovascular system balanced and keeps cholesterol levels low.

4. Bone growth

There are many important minerals that can be found in sesame oil, particularly copper, zinc and calcium. 

5. Soap/lotion base
