Abyssinian Oil

Lightweight and non-greasy, Abyssinian oil is beneficial for your skin and your hair. As it’s rich in vitamins and unsaturated acid - it offers rich hydration without clogging pores. 

The origins of Abyssinian oil come from the Crambe abyssinica plant - which is located in the Ethiopian Highlands of Eastern Africa. This area is formerly known as Abyssinia - which gives the oil its name.

Whilst it’s mostly considered safe to use, Abyssinian oil can have some side effects. The most common of which is an allergic reaction, such as skin irritation, redness, or itching. To prevent an allergic reaction from happening, perform a patch test first before incorporating it into your routine.

Yes! Abyssinian oil is a great product to use on the face - and is even suitable for all skin types. As it’s lightweight and fast-absorbing, it provides rich moisturisation without leaving a greasy residue.

Whether Abyssinian oil is better than argan oil for hair depends on your hair type and texture. The main difference between them is that Abyssinian oil is lighter, whilst Argan oil is richer.
