Tiger nut oil, virgin, unrefined

TIGER OIL

Mainly famous for its properties capable of slowing down hair regrowth, tiger nut oil is frequently used in cases of dense hair. It generally makes it possible to space out shaves or waxing. Antioxidant, nourishing and revitalizing, it can also be used for dry or dull skin and hair. Tiger nut vegetable oil comes from cold pressing the tubers of the plant. Formed at the end of the rhizomes, these tubers are considered a real vegetable/fruit which, when harvested and dried, take on the appearance of small nuts, crumpled and dry. Tiger nut vegetable oil is extracted from these tubers. Rich in micronutrients, essential fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals, this oil has multiple nutritional and cosmetic properties. Naturally used in cooking for its slightly sweet taste, Tigernut oil is also known to soothe dry and damaged skin but also to nourish dry and brittle hair. Aging skin appreciates the oil for its antioxidant and firming properties. And it is ultimately its anti-hair regrowth action that makes Tiger nut vegetable oil famous. The tiger nut is grown by the brave farmers of northwestern Benin, a border area with Burkina-Faso where the cultivation of the tiger nut is a tradition that is passed down from father to son.
