🌿 Product Description
Bottle Gourd Oil is a light, nourishing, and non-comedogenic oil derived from the seeds of Lagenaria siceraria (bottle gourd), an ancient medicinal plant widely used in Ayurvedic traditions. The oil is rich in linoleic acid, oleic acid, and essential nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, and antioxidants. Known for its cooling, calming, and skin-repairing properties, Bottle Gourd Oil is ideal for formulations aimed at sensitive, inflamed, or acne-prone skin. Its light texture and rapid absorption also make it a preferred base for hair oils, massage blends, and herbal cosmetics.
