Sesame Oil

Description

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) has been cultivated for over 5,000 years across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and its golden oil carries a warm, subtly toasted aroma all its own. We select seeds that are cold-pressed just once, a gentle first extraction that locks in the oil's full nutritional richness. Known in Ayurvedic tradition as "Til Tailam," sesame oil has long been a cornerstone of Indian massage rituals, cherished for soothing the body and softening the skin. Its natural antioxidants, sesamol and sesamin, work alongside essential omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids to help protect the skin's moisture barrier while nourishing it from within. Equally at home in the kitchen and in natural skincare, this versatile oil bridges ancient tradition and modern wellness. At Bio Amine, we choose it pure and unrefined so every drop delivers its original benefits.

Benefits

• Traditionally used in Ayurvedic practice for soothing full-body and scalp massage
• Recognized for its antioxidant properties thanks to sesamol, which helps protect skin from external stressors
• Helps deeply nourish dry, dehydrated skin
• Contributes to softening and strengthening dry or damaged hair
• Helps maintain the skin's natural suppleness and elasticity
• Well suited as a calming massage oil before or after physical activity

How to use

Warm a few drops of pure sesame oil between your palms and massage into slightly damp skin or hair using circular motions until fully absorbed. For a traditional Ayurvedic ritual, gently warm the oil before massaging the whole body or scalp, ideally 20 to 30 minutes before showering. On hair, use it as a weekly or twice-weekly oil treatment applied to lengths and ends. In the kitchen, it also adds its signature toasted flavor to stir-fries and dressings.
