Sesame seed oil (Sesamum indicum). This oil is rich in vitamins and minerals. Its vitamin E content gives the oil excellent stability. Some of its recommended uses are for psoriasis, eczema, arthritis, and as a skin softener. It's an oil which is gaining a lot of popularity as a tanning oil.
Recommendations are for this oil to be used as a base or in a 10%-15% dilution. It's beneficial for rheumatic and skin conditions, psoriasis, dry eczema and broken veins. Sesame seed oil, like avocado oil and shea butter, contains a high percentage of unsaponifiables (those parts of fats and oils that do not react with sodium hydroxide to form soap and remain in the final bars as conditioning plant nutrients).
This is a very stable oil due to its natural antioxidant system, it is almost odorless with a clear, pale yellow color which may vary from batch to batch. Medicinal uses: The seeds are helpful in cases of constipation and, when ground up with water, can be used to treat hemorrhoids. Internal use of sesame seed oil is said to improve the blood platelet count and combat anemia. The oil is soothing to the digestive tract (high in calcium, not acid forming) and is a mild laxative.
Sesame seed oil is used in creams and soaps for its moisturizing qualities. Some subscribe to the theory that three of its unsaponifiable substances--sesamoline, sesamine, and sesamol--have powerful antioxidant properties that resist rancidity. With high percentages of oleic and linoleic fatty acids, a sesame seed oil soap formula should incorporate coconut oil and palm oil for a quicker saponification and a harder bar. Saponification value: 187.9. INCI: Sesamum indicum. This oil is cold pressed, refined and deodorized.

I mix it with ginger essential oil to help with my blood circulation. I love the benefits and it is odorless.

If ever there was a versatile oil, this is it! Sesame seed oils is great for skin care, lip care, hair care, scalp care, soaps and as an oil to ingest! Use it in salad dressing blends. The first time I used the oil, we had gone to the California beaches and got sunburned. It cooled the skin and helped heal the burn without the usual watery blistering and excessive peeling!
