Black Currants are native to the United Kingdom & regions of Europe & Asia. The fruit has been traditionally sought after for jams, syrups & liqueurs but throughout history, Black Currants have been used medicinally. Today, Black Currant Seed Oil is now sought after due to the high content of Vitamin C & 15% GLA (gamma-Linolenic Acid) & over 70% essential fatty acids necessary for healthy skin & hair! Black Currant Oil absorbs quickly and is highly moisturizing.
