Seed oils bad, right?
Well, not this one. Black seed oil can cure almost anything, from headaches to gut issues.
But one thing Big Beauty doesn't want you to know - it's uniquely effective when used in skincare.
Here's why.
Black Seed oil comes from a plant called Nigella sativa. It's native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
History of Black Seed Oil
Ancient civilizations used it for medicine, food, skincare and religious purposes. Prophet Muhammad famously said that black seed contains a cure for everything, except death.
Ancient Egyptians considered it a symbol of health and vitality. It was depicted in multiple tomb paintings and hieroglyphics and used by everyone, from slaves to Queen Cleopatra herself.
Our ancestors in the Middle East knew the power of black seed. They would crush the seeds and extract liquid gold - called black seed oil. They would then use this potent oil as pure medicine.
Curing headaches, back pain, gut issues, high blood pressure, infections or inflammation it definitely looks like they knew what they were doing.
Black Seed Oil today
Today, black seed oil is sparingly used by a small minority of people who have witnessed its benefits. But a plant this powerful deserves to be better known and widely used.
Let's look at the benefits of black seed oil and how to use it for skincare.
1. Most potent natural acne treatment
Black seed oil is a powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compound. That makes is a perfect cure for acne.
There are multiple studies done on this showing outstanding results of regular black seed oil use in skincare.
2. Eczema cure
Eczema is a common skin issue today. And while things like beef tallow can work wonders to calm eczema there is one thing that really shines in healing it.
You guessed it - black seed oil.
Studies show black seed oil to be as effective as corticosteroid creams in treating eczema.
3. Wound healing
You may wonder why is black seed oil so effective.
This comes down to its unique composition. The presence of a compound called thymoquinone can stimulate tissue growth and promote wound healing.
Thymoquinone has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects which makes it effective at treating burns, excisions and wounds.
4. Hair growth
Black seed oil can help with hair growth and health being a potent antioxidant. When applied topically it will strengthen the hair follicles and promote healthy, strong hair.
5. Natural vitiligo treatment
The black seed oil has a unique ability to spread melanin within the skin which can help to improve skin pigmentation and discoloration.
This makes it a perfect treatment for conditions such as vitiligo but also as an ingredient in face creams.
6. Reduced inflammation
As a potent anti-inflammatory compound black seed oil can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions.
Anything from acne, skin inflammation, and dark spots to psoriasis, black seed oil has been proven an effective and safe treatment.
But I heard SEED OILS ARE BAD.
How can this seed oil be so good then?
Most commonly crucified seed oils today (canola AKA rapeseed, sunflower, soy, corn) are highly processed, bleached and deodorized with chemicals. This processing adds harmful chemicals to the oil itself making it unsuitable for human use.
These oils can have an unbalanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio and are generally high in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) making them unsuitable for use in food and highly susceptible to oxidation when heated (aka cooking).
Black seed oil is an ancient oil. It's minimally processed by cold-pressing it (similar to olive oil) which preserves all the beneficial compounds in the oil such as thymoquinone and doesn't add any harmful chemicals in the process.
Extracted the way our ancestors did it thousands of years ago.
So why are we not using black seed oil commonly today?
Simply put, it's expensive and hard to make to a high standard of quality. Big Beauty prefers cheap, easily scalable ingredients such as soy or rapeseed-based compounds that are easy (and dirt cheap) to mass produce.
They are also not effective which means you need to use more and more to see any result. Compare that to truly potent ancestral ingredients such as beef tallow which are effective in very small amounts and you have your answer.
Profit.
