COMMUNITY TRADE SESAME OIL FROM NICARAGUA

SOURCED FROM JUAN FRANCISCO PAZ SILVA COOPERATIVE SINCE 1993

Did you know that sesame oil was our first Community Trade ingredient? Treasured by the women of ancient Babylon as a beauty secret, the silky sesame seed oil in our products is cultivated in Achuapa, a community nestled in the hills of northern Nicaragua, by the Juan Francisco Paz Silva Cooperative (JFPS). Our sesame seeds are sown and harvested by hand, then carefully pressed and filtered to produce the rich high-quality oil we use in our products.

ENRICH OUR PRODUCTS

Once the sesame seeds have been expertly milled, the oil is left to settle for 48 hours before it’s filtered, removing any impurities to produce a moisturising oil that’s perfect for our products.
