Product Description:
Chaulmoogra Oil is a cold pressed carrier oil extracted from the seeds of the chaulmoogra tree (Hydnocarpus wightiana), a tree native to India and parts of Southeast Asia. The oil holds a notable place in the history of traditional Indian and Asian botanical practices, where it has been recognised for generations as a significant ingredient in skin focused preparations. The oil is pale yellow to brownish in colour with a characteristic earthy, mildly pungent scent and a thick, viscous consistency. At Maduras Herbals, we supply Chaulmoogra Oil as a raw material for cosmetic manufacturers, DIY formulators, and skin care product developers looking for a rare, traditional carrier oil from India.
