Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil

What It Does

We know broccoli is good for us to eat, but it's also great for skin! Broccoli Seed Oil is rich in Vitamins K and A (in the form of beta-carotene) and essential omega-9 fatty acids, like erucic acid. It has such a unique feel and an even more unique aroma, with a slight odor of broccoli.

Broccoli Seed Oil can be considered nature's silicone. It feels like a cross between cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone, making it ideal for use in place of these silicones where something lightweight and non-greasy is needed. Broccoli Seed Oil absorbs quickly into skin or hair, leaving a slight shiny luster behind.

Our favorite use of Broccoli Seed Oil is on coarse, textured or damaged hair. Try it in a conditioner at just 1% to reduce frizz, smooth hair, and leave it feeling shiny and soft.

How It's Made

Broccoli seeds are dried before being cold-pressed. The resulting crude oil is filtered to remove any particulate, leaving a silky oil that's rich in color with a slight cruciferous odor characteristic of broccoli.

Directions

Ensure all equipment is clean and sterilized. Ingredients with an asterisk can be sourced from any supplier.

Add Distilled or Deionized Water to top portion of the double boiler and begin heating to 170 - 175ºF. In a small mixing bowl, add Organic Glycerin and guar gum together in a slurry. Mix by hand with a spoon until it looks homogenous. Pour the slurry into the main double boiler and use an immersion blender to fully disperse the mixture.

Add #4 and mixing gently with mixing spoon until dissolved.

Once main vessel reaches temperature, start adding ingredients #5-8, one by one until each is dissolved, making sure to gently stir with a spoon. While heating and melting, make sure to cover the double boiler with a lid, especially while the behentrimonium methosulfate is dissolving, so too much water doesn’t evaporate. Once dissolved, use an immersion blender to blend to a milky white texture.

Turn off the heat and remove double boiler from the heat source. Begin stirring gently with spoon while the mixture cools down. At 105 - 110ºF, add #9. Once completely cooled, mixture will thicken.

Pour into containers and enjoy!
