Hemani Bitter Gourd Oil 30ml

Bitter Gourd Oil

Bitter gourd oil, also known as bitter melon oil, is a carrier oil made by cold-pressing the seeds of the Momordica charantia plant.

It is made up of about 60% conjugated linolenic acid and contains the anti-oxidant vitamin C which makes it a moisturizing and anti-aging skin oil that may fight free radicals and sun damage. It also has anti-microbial properties and may be useful for treating acne, wounds, sores and skin infections like athlete’s foot and eczema.

Uses

Massage the oil into wounds, sores, eczema, ringworm, athlete’s foot and psoriasis to treat or prevent infection and promote healing.

Bitter gourd oil can be used on its own as massage oil, and as a natural skincare and beauty oil. It can also be used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils for external use or to add to an oil diffuser.
