Cucumber Oil

Cucumber Oil (Cucumber Seed Oil) is cold pressed from the cleaned and dried seeds of cucumbers. It is then carefully filtered to obtain a brilliant, clear yellow oil with a mild, fresh cucumber aroma.

Cucumber Seed Oil possesses a remarkable amount of phytosterols. Studies indicate that phytosterols help the skin strengthen its lipid barrier, restoring proper moisture balance, smoothing the skins surface and improving skin elasticity. Phytosterols are also known for their ability to nourish and stimulate the skin cells to encourage regeneration of healthy skin cells.

Cucumber Seed Oil can be effective in treating dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne and sunburned skin. It is a good choice for inclusion in formulations for revitalizing maturing skin. Furthermore, the high tocopherol and tocotrienol content indicates that Cucumber Seed Oil would be effective in defending skin cells from free-radical damage.

Cucumber oil is primarily used in topical applications on the skin, and the biggest benefits include pore detoxification and general toning as well as improved moisture and wrinkle elimination. When used for prolonged periods it can also reduce inflammation on the skin, which can lower the incidences of things like acne and rashes. The oil is widely available in many places and is often sold as a natural remedy, but it doesn’t always get good results for everyone. People with very sensitive skin sometimes react badly to the oil despite its general mildness, and it’s usually recommended that prospective users test the oil on a small patch of their skin before applying it widely to the face or other areas.

Oil Basics

The cucumber, which is known scientifically as Cucumis Sativus, belongs to the cucurbitaceae family of fruits. It is related to melons, squashes, and gourds. The oil is extracted from the seeds as opposed to the fruit itself. Cucumbers typically have a number of small, fleshy seeds, usually aligned in rows passing vertically through the centre of the fruit. The seeds are soft and aren’t usually removed before consumption; they don’t have a lot of independent nutritive value in such small quantities, but from a chemical perspective they can be very valuable.
