My black currant infused oil is made from fresh berries & leaves, infused into avocado oil. I use a special process to capture this plant into the oil, and I remove all moisture from the finished oil, so it is shelf stable. This oil does not capture the pigment of the berries, but it has that rich, black current scent. Please note that this is not a 'pressed seed oil', but an infusion of the plant into a carrier oil. There are no essential oils in this product (or in any of my products). Made on 7/15/25.
Ingredients: black currant fruit & seed, avocado oil
Black current is a rich plant, the chemical compounds in it are very high in antioxidants (polyphenols). These compounds are fat soluble, which means they can be absorbed into the skin. The leaves & seeds of this plant hold the 'fats', and I emulsify these into the carrier oil, so that these oils are released & combine with the avocado oil. Low heat is used to evaporate the moisture and infuse the chemical compounds into the avocado oil, which remain with very low heat. This is a unique product that came about from my love of black currants! This oil is refrigerated until sold.
Other notes regarding black currant:
This is a great bush to have in your yard, if you want a source of high vitamin C & antioxidants. I make a syrup from the berries each year, which can be used to make gelatin gummies (jello), used on pancakes, and some might use this berry for fermented sodas. It has such a strong, unique flavor, that tastes like nothing else. The bushes grow easily in most conditions, the deer leave them alone, and you can propagate from cuttings easily. Just cut a branch off, stick it in moist ground - which you can do with elderberry as well. It's incredibly awesome when a plant is such a powerhouse of nutrients & grows readily like this. One of my favorites!
