Fenugreek Oil 

 Fenugreek Oil is a powerful natural oil valued in skincare, haircare, and traditional wellness.

What is Fenugreek Oil

• Extracted from the seeds of the fenugreek plant (Trigonella foenum-graecum), a medicinal herb used for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional medicine.
• Can be produced by cold-pressing the seeds (for carrier oil use) or by infusing seeds in a base oil (like olive or coconut).
• Has a warm, nutty, slightly bitter aroma.

Key Components

• Saponins (like diosgenin) → support skin firmness and hair strength.
• Alkaloids & flavonoids → antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Essential fatty acids (linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids) → nourish skin and hair.
• Vitamins A, C, and B-complex → skin regeneration and hair health.
• Minerals (iron, magnesium, potassium).

Cosmetic Benefits
