Seeds

Cold-pressed and nutrient-dense, these seeds deliver concentrated essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that nourish, protect, and restore skin and hair at the deepest level.

Black Seed (Nigella sativa)
SNR⚠M

Revered for over two thousand years across ancient Egyptian, Islamic, and Ayurvedic traditions, black seed — also known as black cumin — is one of the most studied botanical ingredients in natural medicine. Its active compound thymoquinone delivers powerful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects topically, making it exceptional for calming eczema, psoriasis, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions. A deeply sacred and scientifically validated ingredient.

Broccoli Seed (Brassica oleracea) Nature's Silicone
NRC

Often called nature's silicone, broccoli seed oil delivers the same silky, smoothing effect as synthetic silicones — without a single synthetic ingredient. Rich in erucic acid and a unique fatty acid profile found in almost no other plant, it coats each hair strand with a weightless, frizz-taming shield and leaves skin with a luminous, non-greasy finish. A true clean beauty miracle hiding in plain sight.

Chia Seed (Salvia hispanica)
MNR

One of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, chia seed delivers intense hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and supports the skin's natural ability to retain moisture. Its high antioxidant content helps protect against environmental stress and premature aging, while its anti-inflammatory properties calm redness and sensitivity. A deeply nourishing addition to both skin and hair care formulas.

Cucumber Seed (Cucumis sativus)
SMC

Cool, lightweight, and deeply refreshing, cucumber seed oil is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acids that soothe irritated skin, reduce puffiness, and deliver a calming, hydrating effect that feels as gentle as the vegetable itself. Its naturally high vitamin E content supports skin elasticity and protection, while its light texture makes it ideal for eye area formulas, facial oils, and sensitive skin products. A quietly powerful ingredient in clean skincare.

Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
NSM⚠M

A powerhouse seed long celebrated in traditional Indian and Middle Eastern beauty rituals, fenugreek is exceptionally rich in proteins, lecithin, and nicotinic acid — compounds that deeply condition hair, stimulate scalp circulation, and support healthy hair growth. Topically, fenugreek soothes inflamed or irritated skin, softens rough texture, and delivers a protective, emollient coating that locks in moisture. A beloved ingredient in natural hair masks and scalp treatments.

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum)
MSN

An exceptional source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), flaxseed oil deeply nourishes and softens skin while supporting barrier function and reducing inflammation. Its omega-3 and omega-6 content works in balance to calm reactive skin, improve elasticity, and promote a smooth, supple complexion. In hair care, flaxseed gel is a beloved natural styler that defines, conditions, and adds brilliant shine without buildup.

Hemp Seed (Cannabis sativa)
MSN⚠M

Hemp seed oil is one of nature's most perfectly balanced oils, containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the ideal 3:1 ratio that mirrors what skin needs most. Non-comedogenic and deeply hydrating, it regulates oil production, soothes inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier without clogging pores — making it suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone. Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), it is especially beneficial for mature, dry, or sensitive skin.

Pumpkin Seed (Cucurbita pepo)
NRC

Rich in zinc, vitamin E, and a powerful blend of essential fatty acids, pumpkin seed oil nourishes and protects skin while supporting collagen production and cell renewal. Its high zinc content makes it particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin, helping to regulate sebum production and reduce breakouts. In hair care, pumpkin seed is prized for its ability to support scalp health and promote stronger, thicker hair growth.

Safflower Seed (Carthamus tinctorius)
MNS

One of the highest plant sources of linoleic acid, safflower seed oil is a supremely lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that absorbs beautifully into skin without residue. Its exceptional linoleic acid content replenishes the skin's lipid barrier, reduces moisture loss, and calms inflammation — making it ideal for sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin. A clean, gentle, and highly effective base oil for serums and lightweight moisturizers.

Sesame Seed (Sesamum indicum)
NSR⚠A

One of humanity's oldest cultivated oilseeds, sesame has been used in Ayurvedic body care for thousands of years. Rich in sesamol, sesamin, and vitamin E, sesame seed oil delivers powerful antioxidant protection, deeply nourishes dry skin, and has natural UV-filtering properties. Its warming, slightly nutty aroma makes it a beloved base for body oils and massage blends. Deeply grounding and restorative.

Sunflower Seed (Helianthus annuus)
MNS

A lightweight, skin-identical oil rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, sunflower seed oil absorbs quickly and reinforces the skin's natural barrier without feeling heavy or greasy. Its high linoleic acid content makes it especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin — replenishing the lipids skin needs to stay soft, protected, and balanced. A gentle, reliable workhorse in clean skincare formulation.

Grains

From ancient oat traditions to the brightening power of fermented rice, grains offer some of the most skin-compatible, deeply nourishing compounds found in the natural world — gentle enough for the most sensitive skin, powerful enough to transform it.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
SMC

Rich in beta-glucan — the same powerful polysaccharide found in oat — barley delivers exceptional skin-soothing, hydrating, and brightening benefits. Its beta-glucan forms a moisture-binding film on the skin's surface that plumps, smooths, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, while its antioxidant content helps fade uneven skin tone and protect against environmental stress. A deeply nourishing grain with a long history of use in both food and traditional skin care.

Oat (Avena sativa)
SMN⚠A

One of the most time-honored and universally beloved ingredients in natural skincare, colloidal oat has been soothing irritated, inflamed, and sensitive skin for centuries. Rich in beta-glucan, avenanthramides, and natural lipids, oat forms a protective, moisture-locking barrier on the skin's surface while actively calming redness, itching, and inflammation. Gentle enough for newborns and the most reactive skin types, it is one of the few ingredients truly worthy of the word "gentle." A cornerstone of clean body care.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)
NRS

Long celebrated as a complete protein food, quinoa brings its exceptional amino acid profile to skincare and hair care with equally impressive results. Rich in all nine essential amino acids, vitamins B and E, and zinc, quinoa strengthens the hair shaft, reduces breakage, and adds brilliant shine. In skincare, its peptides support collagen synthesis and skin firmness while its antioxidants protect against environmental damage. A true superfood — inside and out.

Rice Bran (Oryza sativa)
RCN

Derived from the nutrient-rich outer layer of the rice grain, rice bran is celebrated across Japanese and Korean beauty traditions for its remarkable brightening and anti-aging properties. Rich in squalene, vitamin E, ferulic acid, and oryzanol, rice bran oil protects against UV-induced skin damage, fades hyperpigmentation, and supports a radiant, even complexion. Rice is also the source of rice water and fermented rice water — both beloved in Asian beauty rituals for strengthening hair, tightening pores, and delivering a luminous glow to skin. A true multitasker from one of nature's most generous grains.

Wheat Germ (Triticum aestivum)
NRM⚠A

The most nutrient-dense part of the wheat kernel, wheat germ oil is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin E — delivering powerful antioxidant protection that helps neutralize free radicals and support skin repair. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin A, and B vitamins, it deeply nourishes dry or damaged skin, improves elasticity, and supports the skin's natural regeneration process. A deeply restorative ingredient for mature, dry, or stressed skin.
