With its mild profile, skin-friendly fatty acid content, and excellent oxidative stability, it's an ideal base oil for summer skincare and haircare products. At Inky Ingredients, we offer both cold-pressed and refined grades of Rapeseed Oil to meet a range of formulation needs.
What is Rapeseed Oil?
Rapeseed Oil is obtained from the seeds of the Brassica napus plant, a member of the mustard family. It is prized for its lightweight feel, nourishing properties, and neutral sensory profile. Our cold-pressed oil retains its natural colour and characteristic aroma, while our refined oil offers a lighter, more versatile option with minimal scent and colour - ideal for sensitive skin and delicately fragranced formulations.
What are the benefits of Rapeseed Oil?
Hydrating yet non-greasy: Rapeseed Oil is rich in oleic and linoleic acids, delivering balanced moisture without heaviness, perfect for warmer weather.
High in Vitamin E: Offers antioxidant protection, helping to support skin health and reduce environmental stress.
Soothing and calming: Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated or dry skin, including sun-exposed areas.
Versatile and stable: With a high smoke point and excellent stability, Rapeseed Oil performs well in a range of beauty applications, from emulsions to oils.
Hair and scalp benefits: It conditions without weighing hair down and can help nourish a dry or flaky scalp.
