SKIN CARE:
Abyssinian oil is a great addition to facial oils, especially oily, acneic and sensitive skin. With a comedogenic rating of 0, it will not clog pores or cause irritation.

HAIR CARE: Abyssinian Seed Oil revitalizes and strengthens hair, leaving it silky, smooth, and manageable. It is a deeply hydrating yet lightweight oil, making it an excellent choice for fine, thin, or oily hair types that can easily feel weighed down or greasy with heavier products.
