Abyssinian Oil is a luxurious botanical oil prized for its exceptionally lightweight feel and silky finish. Rich in long-chain fatty acids, it helps soften, smooth and condition the skin while absorbing beautifully without leaving a greasy residue. Its unique profile makes it a favourite ingredient in premium natural skincare.
🌿 Lightweight Botanical Oil
✨ Fast Absorbing
🛡 Supports the Skin Barrier
💚 Suitable for All Skin Types
Abyssinian Oil is pressed from the seeds of the Crambe abyssinica plant, a flowering crop native to the Mediterranean region and now sustainably cultivated in several parts of the world.
It is naturally rich in erucic acid, a long-chain omega-9 fatty acid that gives the oil its signature silky glide and elegant skin feel. Unlike many richer botanical oils, Abyssinian Oil absorbs quickly while leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth and beautifully conditioned.
Its light texture makes it suitable for both facial skincare and body care, where it helps nourish the skin without feeling heavy.
At Bloom, we love ingredients that deliver beautiful results while still feeling completely natural.
Abyssinian Oil perfectly complements our philosophy. It provides luxurious nourishment without heaviness, making it ideal for products designed to hydrate, soften and protect the skin. It works beautifully alongside ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil and Vitamin E to create lightweight formulations that leave skin feeling silky and comfortable.
