Abyssinian carrier oil is a rare treasure from South Africa, renowned for its uniquely sought-after texture. Rich in erucic acid, a natural 22-carbon compound, it offers a soft feel and high viscosity, without any greasy effect, as it absorbs instantly into the skin.

A real innovation in the world of cosmetology for the smooth textures it produces, Abyssinian carrier oil is particularly suited to use in make-up.

Non-greasy and stable to oxidation, it is an ideal oil for all skin types, from the oiliest to the driest of skins.

It is also a prime ingredient in hair products and specialist afro hair ranges, as it restores a radiant natural shine to even the driest hair while detangling even the frizziest.
