What was the secret of Nefertiti and Cleopatra to have a perfect complexion? Their beauty secret is none other than Nigella oil also called Pharaohs oil or black cumin oil. This oil with multiple virtues, the use of which dates back to ancient Egypt, was even found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Focus on this extraordinary oil which is now a staple in organic cosmetics.

What is Nigella?

Coming from the ranunculaceae family, the Nigella Sativa by its scientific name is a plant mainly cultivated in the Mediterranean regions, Western Asia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Ethiopia. It is during the months of July and August that we can observe the flowering of Nigella. The fields are then covered with flowers that range from blue to white through pink. Harvesting of the small, black, crescent-shaped seeds in the flower can then begin. It is from these that we obtain this oil with multiple properties ... both culinary, medicinal and cosmetic.

Used like pepper in cooking, Nigella seeds commonly called black cumin seeds flavor dishes by bringing a little spicy taste with a lemony aroma.

Nigella Sativa is also appreciated for its medicinal qualities. Indeed, it cleanses the body of its toxins, stimulates cell regeneration, strengthens the immune system and destroys bacteria.

This plant with medicinal properties is now a must in the formulation of organic cosmetics in order to meet the needs and problems that the skin may encounter. She is the friend of all skin types, from the most sensitive to irritated skin and even oily skin.
