Desert Date Oil is a rare cold-pressed oil from the African Balanites aegyptiaca tree. The extremely hard seeds yield very little oil, making it slow to produce and highly prized. We sourced this exceptional oil at around £600 per litre to ensure the highest quality for our formulation.
Desert Date Oil is a rare botanical oil pressed from the seeds of the desert date tree (Balanites aegyptiaca), a resilient plant that thrives in some of the world’s harshest climates. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and natural sterols, this nourishing oil helps support the skin barrier, improve elasticity, and restore softness to the skin.
Desert Date Oil is also known as one of the most powerful natural astringent oils in botanical skincare. An astringent ingredient helps gently tighten and tone the skin, improving the appearance of pores while supporting a firmer, smoother complexion.
Because of this natural astringent action, you may notice a light tightening sensation after application. This is completely normal and simply means the oil is working to help tone and support the skin’s structure.
With regular use, Desert Date Oil helps to:
• nourish and replenish the skin
• support firmness and elasticity
• refine the appearance of pores
• promote a smoother, more radiant complexion
Highly valued in traditional desert skincare, this rare oil conditions the skin deeply while maintaining a lightweight, elegant feel.
