🌿 Introduction
Black Cumin Seed CO₂ Extract (Aroma) — derived from the seeds of Nigella sativa — is a deep, aromatic, and slightly spicy extract obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction, preserving both its distinctive scent and bioactive richness.
Its aroma is warm, earthy, peppery, and subtly herbaceous, carrying undertones of toasted seeds, dry woods, and balsamic spice. This is not merely a carrier oil — it’s a true aromatic extract, prized for its complex natural scent and powerful composition.
At Herbsmetics, Black Cumin Seed CO₂ Extract (Aroma) is featured in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket, where guests explore the mystique of spicy seed aromas and their use as both aromatic anchors and wellness actives in natural formulations.
