What's So Great About Date Seed Oil?

Many people are familiar with the fruit called date. Despite it being very high in sugar, it has many other benefits that are well regarded. It is a rich source of minerals and vitamins. What's so great about the compositional makeup of this fruit is that its oil, which comes specifically from a date seed, carries those positive properties and then some. Used in this way for generations in the Middle East, the benefit of date seed oil is making its way to other parts of the world and we have the reasons you should try it!

Protein Filled

While the fruit itself is rich in protein, there is even more protein packed in the seed of the date. Protein is a very important nutrient that the skin needs in order to maintain its health and appearance. The skin itself can often be weakened by pollution and other environmental factors, but protein can help increase the level of collagen in the skin, which can help to increase its elasticity and ward off the signs of aging. If you are looking for a face oil that is gentle but will also do the work of keeping your face protected, you may want to give this oil a try.

Control Blood Sugar

A great thing about date palm seed oil is that it's available in food grade, which means it can be consumed and cooked with. This makes its use even more fundamental and necessary as it has been known to help treat issues with blood sugar in the past. Diabetes is one of the most pervasive conditions in our country, and for those who don't keep their blood sugar in check, it can be terribly dangerous and lead to complications. A recent study showed that consuming date seeds or cooking with date seed oil can help prevent complications specifically dealing with the liver and kidneys.

Rich In Antioxidants

Free radicals don't just affect your skin, they affect your entire body - both the internal and external parts. Due to the amount of antioxidants present in date seed oil, it can help your body fight against the oxidative stress damage that comes along with the free radicals that roam throughout our atmosphere. This makes it a great oil to cook with, use to protect the skin, and also be used in hair.

Nourish Hair

When it comes to the right type of oil to put in your hair, there are many different choices. One thing you have to be careful of when you are picking an oil though is that it's not too greasy as some tend to weigh hair down. Thankfully, with the amount of oleic acid within the oil, people with naturally curly or dense hair will find that this oil is especially helpful. It will soften your hair and also make it more manageable. If you struggle with wiry or frizzy hair, you'll definitely want to keep this oil on hand.
