The special history of Balanites oil
The desert date, scientifically Balanites aegyptiaca, is an ancient African tree whose seeds have been the source of valuable oil for centuries. The Najel organic version is cold-pressed and preserves every valuable nutrient. This is a rare, premium-quality ingredient, strictly selected under the difficult conditions of desert life.
Why our customers love it
Our customers love this oil for its rich nutrient content. We particularly recommend it for mature, dry, or stressed skin, because it helps restore the skin's elasticity and tone. If you spend much time outdoors, in cold or wind, the protective layer of this oil is welcome for the skin.
Application advice for face
As an evening ritual, work two to three drops into cleansed facial skin. Massage in with fine circular motions – the oil absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy feeling. It can also be applied to the eye area, particularly recommended as a night serum.
Excellent for hair care too
Worked into damaged, dry hair ends, a few drops instantly make hair softer and smoother. Once a week it can also be used as a hair mask: work the oil into the scalp and the entire hair, leave for 30-60 minutes, then wash out with shampoo.
Storage tips
Store Balanites oil in a dark, cool place, preferably in the original bottle. Direct sunlight and high temperature can reduce the effectiveness of valuable nutrients. Use within 6 months of opening for the best result.
Integrated into home ritual
You can use it both in the morning and evening, but the best experience develops as part of an evening ritual. Our customers say the oil gives a warming, deep feeling to the skin, which is particularly welcome in winter. You can feel this difference after just a few days.
