Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Extract description
_Sesamum indicum_ is also known as sesame. The oil from its seeds is a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats along with vitamin E and lignans (especially one called sesamin), antioxidant plant compounds that have a notable calming effect on skin.[br] [br] As with all non-fragrant oils, _Sesamum indicum_ (sesame) seed oil has moisturising and emollient properties and can help prevent water loss from skin’s uppermost layers. [br] _Sesamum indicum_ (sesame) seed oil is a natural source of omega-6 fatty acids, and its fatty acid profile helps ensure a healthy skin barrier by complementing skin’s natural supply of ceramides and lipids.
