The Crambe abyssinica plant is known for its ability to grow in arid regions with minimal water requirements, making it a resilient and environmentally-friendly crop.

What is Abyssinian Oil?

Abyssinian Oil is derived from the non-food oilseed crop Crambe abyssinica. This plant is native to the Mediterranean region and flourishes in tropical and subtropical climates. The crop was initially planted in an effort to find a vegetable oil alternative to fossil fuels. The oil, specifically, was used as a synthetic lubricant in industrial settings. 

Nowadays, Abyssinian Oil is a popular ingredient in cosmetics and lotions. Its emollient properties make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a natural way to nourish their skin.
