Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil

Broccoli Seed Oil is a lightweight, non-greasy vegetable oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Brassica oleracea italica, notable for its exceptionally high content of erucic acid (approximately 40-50%) and long-chain fatty acids, which give it a silicone-like slip and dry-down feel that is highly unusual among plant oils. This unique fatty acid profile makes it a popular natural alternative to silicones in hair care formulations, where it imparts exceptional shine, smoothness, and frizz control without the heavy residue associated with many other oils. Formulators also prize it for its ability to condition and soften skin, its good oxidative stability relative to other unsaturated oils, and its compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic systems.
