Black currant seed oil
Black currant seed oil successfully weaves its essential and other fatty acids into dry skin to enhance protective moisture barriers and deliver visibly softer results. It suits almost all skin types and is most commonly found in nourishing facial serums. Because of its light texture, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
