Also known as ‘Abyssinian Oil’ Crambe Abyssinica is a relatively new cosmetic ingredient though it has long been regarded as a natural lubricant for technical applications. It has extremely high stability with a medium skin feel but has noticeably enhanced slip over some other oils and leaves the skin with a nice sheen.

Crambe oil could potentially be used as a natural alternative to synthetic or chemically derived lubricants and is an ideal base oil for oil rich body lotions, massage oils and particularly useful in hair conditioning products.
