Abyssinian Oil for Skin
High in omega-9 (erucic acid) and natural antioxidants, our cold pressed abyssinian oil for face and body helps lock in moisture, soften rough patches, and supports elasticity for a smooth, comfortable complexion. The non-greasy finish makes it perfect for oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin types.
