INFO and INTERESTING FACTS: Traditionally used in India, Karanja oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Pongamia tree. This 100% pure carrier oil is rich in omega-9 and contains 2 special rare and active molecules, Pongamol and Karanjin. Those properties give Karanja oil its highly hydrating qualities that contribute to the skin elasticity. Ideal for skins prone to acne and blemishes, Karanja oil is also valued when it comes to prepare and protect our skins and hair before being exposed to the sun’s UVA and UVB and is increasingly used as an added sun protection/booster ingredient in sunscreen formulas.
