Hatred for broccoli is something most kids outgrow but I never quite warmed up to it, and have had to find other leafy green vegetables as an alternate source over the years.

I was delighted to discover broccoli seed oil, however. If I can’t eat it, at least I can get some of the benefits in other ways.

Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C & K. It also contains sulforaphane, a potent antioxidant compound found in cruciferous vegetables.

Broccoli seed oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds from this green vegetable.

The result is a pale green, light, and non-greasy oil, which is easily absorbed into the hair and skin.

6 Benefits of Broccoli Seed Oil plus How to Use it in Your Hair & Beauty Treatment

What are the Benefits of Broccoli Seed Oil?

1. Anti-inflammatory

Broccoli seed oil contains arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help reduce inflammatory skin conditions such as dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis.

2. Shiny Hair

Broccoli seed oil has a unique blend of essential fatty acids with up to 50% Erucic acid.

Erucic acid is an omega-9 fatty acid that helps impart shine on the hair similar to the type derived from silicone-filled hair products.

3. Sealing Oil

It’s absorbed easily into the hair and forms a protective barrier; keeping moisture in longer. This makes broccoli seed oil an excellent sealing oil.

4. Antioxidant

You can add a few drops to your sunscreen. Due to its powerful antioxidant content, it can protect the skin from free radical damage and prevent premature aging of the skin.

5. Moisturizes & Nourishes

Broccoli seed oil is full of vitamin C, making it a great skin-nourishing oil. It will help your skin glow and look radiant. Add a few drops to your daily moisturizer.

6. Cell Renewal & Regeneration

It contains a significant amount of vitamin A (retinol), a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in cell regeneration and maintaining clear and healthy skin.

How to Use Broccoli Seed Oil on Hair and Skin

If you conduct at-home chemical peels, you can apply broccoli seed oil for a few days before your peel to prepare your skin.

However, you should discontinue use at least 3 to 4 days before you apply the chemical peel.

P.S. Always follow the manufacturers’ directions of whichever particular chemical peel you intend to use.

If you’re a DIY enthusiast, you can include broccoli seed oil in your hair and skin concoctions.

Its antioxidant properties make it a valuable emollient in formulations and help extend the shelf life of your products.

Broccoli seed oil can last for up to 2 years if stored in an airtight container and kept at room temperature.

The oil does have a strong odor so if you’re not too keen on this, you can easily mask the smell with a sweet-smelling essential oil like ylang-ylang or lavender essential oil.
