Lipovol Crambe is a unique, natural emollient.


What is Crambe?

Crambe is not well known, but is an incredibly useful annual plant. Originating in the Mediterranean region, Crambe grows naturally in the Abyssinia foothills and North African plains.

Often compared to jojoba oil, crambe seed oil is high in erucic acid. For the skin, this means a strong concentration of a nourishing omega-9 fatty acid. As a stable and long lasting seed oil, it rapidly penetrates the outer layers of the epidermis, deeply nourishing the skin while providing a smooth, soft layer of protection against dehydration.

What does Lipovol Crambe do?

Lipovol Crambe is a unique, natural emollient. It is a renewable raw material that can be easily grown and is environmentally friendly. Tocopherols are added to the Lipovol Crambe to improve oxidative stability.

This natural ingredient can be easily emulsified into creams and lotions to provide excellent skin feel and moisturisation. It also imparts shine and leaves a non-greasy after-feel. Lipovol Crambe is traditionally used as a slip agent. Lipovol Crambe also adds softness to hair. For colour cosmetics, it improves pigment dispersion.

  • Rapid Skin Penetration
