Poppy Seed Oil - Virgin

Poppy seed oil, otherwise known as its INCI name Papaver Somniferum oil, is cold-pressed extracted from dried poppy seeds, yielding a light yellow liquid carrying a characteristic flavor profile and aroma similar to ground poppy seeds. Bulk poppy seed oil, or commonly written as poppyseed, is used in food manufacturing and throughout the cosmetic and personal-care realm. As a virgin, or unrefined, carrier oil naturally high in fat and antioxidant content along with the essential fatty acids linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acid, poppy seed oil yields effective hydrating, nourishing, and moisturizing properties ideal for topical hair and skin formulations. In addition to cosmetic manufacturing, virgin poppy seed oil is procured for fine art and oil painting.
