Sesame oil

Sesame oil is rich in essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants, most notably vitamin E, which plays a key role in protecting the skin from damage caused by UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals¹.

Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, sesame oil can help soothe irritated skin and support its natural balance². In addition, it ranks low on the comedogenic scale, meaning it does not clog pores and is suitable for most skin types³.
