Contact SupplierSesame is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Sesame seed oil, made from the seeds of sesame, and its lignan, sesamol, have potent antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects.
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a herbaceous annual plant belonging to the Pedaliaceae family. It is cultivated for its protein-rich seed and its edible oil, which is a rich source of UFAs (Elleuch et al., 2007). A substantial amount of the world’s sesame production is consumed as oil. Sesame is a major food source in many parts of the world. It has improved the nutritional status and prevented various diseases in China and Japan for several thousand years (Chen et al., 2005). Sesame seeds are also an important source of dietary fiber and micronutrients such as minerals, lignans, tocopherols, and phytosterols. Sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil and related cosmetic ingredients are derived from Sesamum indicum. Sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil, sesamum indicum (sesame) oil unsaponifiables, and hydrogenated sesame seed oil function as conditioning agents. Sodium sesameseedate functions as a cleansing agent, emulsifying agent, and a nonaqueous viscosity increasing agent. These ingredients are neither skin irritants, sensitizers, teratogens, nor carcinogens at exposures that would result from cosmetic use.
