What is ximenia oil?
Ximenia oil is a rich, golden emollient pressed from the seeds of the ximenia tree, a resilient Southern African plant that thrives in dry, exposed landscapes. It has a long history of traditional use for softening skin and hair.
The oil is high in oleic acid and also contains unusual long-chain fatty acids that give it a distinctive, cushioning slip. This makes it especially comforting on very dry, depleted skin.
In skincare, ximenia oil is valued as a restorative emollient, helping bring softness back to skin that feels rough, tight or thirsty, while leaving a smooth, conditioned finish.
