Identify : Nigella oil (black cumin) comes from the cold pressing of the seeds of Nigella Sativa. By this process, 30 to 40% of the weight of the seeds is obtained in the form of oil. It is an oily liquid that can range from yellow to amber yellow almost brown. It leaves a greasy feel on the skin (it is advantageous to mix it with oils with a drier feel such as grapeseed, macadamia or sesame). Its rather strong spicy fragrance is very characteristic and recalls the smell of cumin, very aromatic, slightly bitter, peppery and pungent. Its taste is strong and bitter. The flowers have a corolla of 5 petals of a pretty blue. Flowering occurs in July-August. The fruit contains many black seeds from which this vegetable oil is derived. Composition : - Omega 6: linoleic acid between 56 and 57%. Essential fatty acids, this acid enters into the composition of ceramides, which are part of the lipid cement: they ensure the cohesion of the different elements of the skin and form a protective layer on the surface of the skin. - Omega 9: oleic acid between 23 and 25%. This acid has restorative and healing properties. - Saturated fatty acids - Palmitic acids between 11 and 12%, an important component of the skin barrier. - Stearic acid between 3 and 4%, moisturizing and film-forming. - Nigella essential oil (between 0.5 and 2%): immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory. This essential oil, very rich in components, cannot be separated from vegetable oil and makes this oil a real cocktail of active ingredients. It contains monoterpenes: antiseptics, digestive stimulants and anti-inflammatories (paracymene 50 to 55% and alpha thuyene 12 to 18%). It also contains thymoquinone, a powerful anti-infective and antifungal, but also anti-inflammatory, antihistamine and antioxidant. Use : Antiseptic and soothing, Nigella oil is the ally of many skin problems, from acne to psoriasis. It calms the itching of the skin, but also of the scalp, while repairing dry and damaged hair. You can use it as a repairing and soothing mask on your hair, to leave on for at least an hour for optimal action. It also has a good anti-dandruff action. Mature skin, whatever its nature, dry, oily or reactive, will benefit from the soothing properties of Nigella oil, its antioxidant action and the restorative and restructuring action of the fatty acids it contains. It is therefore an oil to be recommended, alone or in a mixture, for all skin types and all ages. It is an oil that you can apply in case of hemorrhoidal crisis. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory action will help calm the pain. Ecological impact: The Nigella oil that you will find in Mes Secrets BIO products comes from Egypt. We favor it in our recipes because its ecological impact is minimal. We try to use ingredients from plants grown close to home for a global ecological approach. With Nigella oil, we take advantage of the natural richness of the Mediterranean basin. A little history : The use of nigella seed in India, Egypt, the Maghreb and the Near East has been known since antiquity. Seeds of "black cumin", another name for nigella, have even been found in the tombs of pharaohs. Some call black cumin oil "the oil of the pharaohs". The translation of its name in Arabic is "the seed of blessing". In antiquity, it is also cited by Greek and Roman doctors. Moreover, its name, nigelle, would come from nigellus (blackish, in Latin). It has also been called "poivrette", because of the black color and spicy taste of its seeds. It has also been known for centuries in India by Ayurveda practitioners as kalinji, renowned for its stimulating and antidepressant properties. The nigella was cultivated in Europe from the 8th century and the famous Hildegard of Bingen quotes it, while attributing few properties to it. The properties that make its current reputation were not really recognized in the West until the second half of the 20th century.
