Abyssinian oil
Argan oil has been prized as a miracle ingredient for the skin and hair, but it has come under fire amid questions about how sustainably it is sourced. This has paved the way for a worthy alternative – Abyssinian oil.
“Crambe abyssinica, also known as Abyssinian kale, is basically superfood for your hair and is enriched with a unique fatty acid structure and exceptionally high concentration of phytosterols, omega 3-6-9 and antioxidants,” says Thierry Mandonnaud, founder of hair care line Abyssian.
Sourced around the Mediterranean and East Africa, Abyssinian oil is lightweight, hydrating and nourishing. Its water retention properties allow Abyssinian kale to grow during the dry season with limited water supplies, making it easy on the environment as well.
