INCI: SESAMUM INDICUM SEED OIL

The light sesame oil is made from the seeds of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum), an annual herb from the sesame family (Pedaliaceae), which can reach heights of almost two meters. Sesame comes from South Asia and is grown in many tropical and subtropical areas. Today, the largest sesame producers include Sudan, Myanmar and India. The plant's tubular flowers are white or pink and have a hairy exterior. Inside the plant's seed capsules are the black, white, brown or golden yellow sesame seeds, from which the oil is ultimately extracted.

Effect
