BROCCOLI SEED OIL

A cold-pressed seed oil rich in omega-9 fatty acids that helps smooth, soften, and support a healthy-looking skin barrier with a lightweight, silky feel.

Ingredient PROFILE

WHY YOUR SKIN LOVES IT

Broccoli seed oil is especially high in erucic acid, a type of omega-9 fatty acid known for its conditioning and skin-smoothing properties. This lipid profile helps support skin comfort, improve suppleness, and enhance the appearance of smoothness and radiance without feeling heavy or greasy. Often compared to silicone alternatives for its elegant slip, broccoli seed oil helps soften the complexion and helps support barrier function while leaving skin feeling nourished, flexible, and refined. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for formulas designed to enhance skin feel, flexibility, and overall appearance.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Broccoli seed oil is derived from the seeds of broccoli (Brassica oleracea), a plant traditionally cultivated for food. The oil is obtained from seeds that are a natural byproduct of agricultural processing, supporting a more efficient use of plant materials that might otherwise go unused.

HOW IT’S THOUGHTFULLY MADE

Broccoli seed oil is obtained through cold-pressing, a mechanical extraction method that avoids excessive heat and chemical solvents. This careful approach helps retain the oil’s naturally occurring fatty acids and supports overall ingredient integrity. Limited processing helps purity and consistency, resulting in a refined botanical oil well suited for a wide range of cosmetic formulations.

WHY IT MATTERS

Known for its lightweight feel and natural smoothing properties, broccoli seed oil provides effective nourishment without heaviness. Sourced from seeds recovered as a byproduct and produced using relatively low-impact extraction methods, this ingredient reflects a considered approach to ingredient design. After oil extraction, the remaining seed material is further processed, de-oiled and milled into a fine powder, allowing for near-complete use of the seed and helping minimize material waste. The result is a versatile, plant-derived oil that combines performance, sensory elegance, and responsible sourcing, offering a naturally derived alternative to heavier oils or synthetic slip agents.
