What Is Sesame Oil?
Sesame oil is a non-fragrant plant oil that is a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats along with vitamin E and lignans (especially one called sesamin), antioxidant plant compounds that have a notable calming effect on skin.\n\nAs with all non-fragrant oils, sesame has moisturising and emollient properties and can help prevent water loss from skin’s uppermost layers.\n\nSesame oil is a natural source of omega-6 fatty acids, and its fatty acid profile helps ensure a healthy skin barrier by complementing skin’s natural supply of ceramides and lipids.
