Description
Specifications: Cucumis Sativus Seed Oil
Application
100 % pure, produced in Poland from cucumber seeds, unrefined. The oil has a subtle, natural, and fresh scent, a clear yellow color, and a light texture, considered one of the gentlest plant oils.
Thanks to its active compounds (mainly tocopherols and phytosterols), it is ideal for mature, dry, and aging skin. Perfect for cosmetic formulations for combination, acne-prone, oily, or sensitive skin—even suitable for the delicate eye area.
It can also be used for scalp, hair, nails, dry hands, or elbows. Its applications are highly versatile.
Examples of use:
- Cream replacement: apply a few drops directly onto damp skin of face, neck, and décolleté.
- Body lotion: apply directly after bathing onto damp skin or add 1–2 tablespoons to bath water.
- Massage oil: use pure or mix with richer oils like sweet almond or pomegranate seed oil.
- Scalp mask: massage 2 tablespoons into the scalp at least one hour before washing hair.
- Hair mask: apply to dry or damp hair at least 20 minutes before washing—best with water and/or hyaluronic gel; rinse with mild shampoo; can also be left overnight.
- Face mask: mix a few drops of oil with clay and rose hydrosol to a paste, apply for about 15 minutes, then rinse; during application, spray with water or hydrosol to prevent drying.
Recommended concentration in cosmetics: 100 %—can be used pure or as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
Benefits
Thanks to its vitamin E content, cucumber seed oil regenerates the skin—even the delicate eye area—very effectively.
It provides anti-wrinkle, firming, and revitalizing effects. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it also possesses antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces signs of stress, leaving skin silky smooth and radiant. Pigmentation spots are visibly reduced.
Tocopherols protect the skin from UV damage and combat free radicals. The oil is also rich in:
- Linoleic acid (Omega-6): supports the skin barrier and regulates sebum production
- Oleic acid: retains moisture and protects the skin from drying
- Palmitoleic acid: soothes irritation and inflammation, improves skin texture, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Additional benefits:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Soothes inflamed, acne-prone skin and reduces redness
- Relieves sunburn
- Improves skin firmness and elasticity
- Brightens pigmentation and discoloration after sun exposure
