INCI Name
Fruit seeds from New Zealand that are cold pressed in the UK to produce the oil. Nitrogen gas is used after production to keep the oil from going rancid. 0.5% vitamin E oil is added at Aromantic to keep it for 1-1.5 years,but as this is a very fragile oil, can also be taken internally as an omega 3-rich supplement.
It needs to be kept stored cold in a fridge, but not in the the door as it is then shaken every time you open the door.
Skin Care
Unique oil as it contains a very high level of omega 3 fatty acids (up to 65%) and other micro nutrients. Skin studies have shown that it improves skin condition & protects against moisture loss. Has an excellent after-feel & absorbs easily making it the perfect ingredient in face creams & hair conditioning creams. It is soft & smooth, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Kiwi seed oil is excellent for treating sensitive and oily and large-pored skin as it helps to rebalance the skin because of the oils very low freezing point. For more information about why this is so, see my book on vegetable oils. It also helps to treat all kinds of skin infections, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, pimples and boils. It is useful in the repair of damaged skin tissue, varicose veins and skin overexposed to sunlight, and reducing or healing fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles and scars.
Its very dry, thin appearance on the skin makes kiwi seed oil a very good anti-wrinkle/skin rejuvenation oil. It helps to give elasticity to the skin and can be used in face oils, serums and in creams.
Its good for adding to eye and after-sun products.
As kiwi seed oil is very soft and smooth on the skin, it is excellent for adding to products for babies as well as for sensitive skin.
In the kitchen
Because it is very high in omega 3 alpha linolenic acid (up to 65%), you can take it internally instead of marine oils or flaxseed oil (up to 42% omega 3) in salad dressings or as a food supplement (1-2 teaspoons a day). The body naturally converts between 2% and 10% of the ALA into eicosapentanoeic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It is because of this, that it has been described a true vegetarian alternative to marine oils.
