Date Seed Oil | Khajoor Guthli

Date Seed Oil (INCI Phoenix Dactylifera Seed Oil) is a cold-pressed seed oil with a distinctive profile combining oleic acid at 40–55% with significant lauric at 15–25% and myristic at 10–18%. That combination is unusual — the medium-chain fraction gives cleansing behaviour alongside emollience.
