- The Oil Factor
- O&3 presents Karanja Seed Oil, Cold Pressed. Wild harvested & processed in India, this oil is a relative of the Neem Oil. Similar to its relative, Karanja Oil is fantastic for a wide array of products. Its profile is less intense to that of Neem, in that it is yellow/golden in color rather than a dark viscous liquid (Neem); this makes formulating a lot easier with Karanja. This oil is not widely known & to be honest we do not know why?! It carries so many cracking benefits, such as a very attractive fatty acid profile (high in Oleic acid), it is great for skin repair / hair repair & absolutely one to be considered for animal care products, such as grooming & insect repellents (again, much like that of Neem Oil).
