Dill seed extract for making cosmetics and shampoos. Enzyme assisted extraction for maximum yield
We use organic, raw dill seeds which allows us to extract the most bioactive properties from the plant material as possible. It also keeps out extract free from any toxins or impurities introduced during the farming process. Our use of a cold-extraction process and of water and glycerin as solvents preserves the structure and potency of the bioactive compounds of the dill seeds.

Many extract producers tout dill oil benefiting elastin in particular. We use raw seeds because the research into the benefits of dill extract was done with an extract made from raw seeds, and not from dill oil.
Our dill seeds are harvested from the flowers of mature Anethum-Graveolens herbs. Extracts from dill seeds help combat aging and to help maintain a youthful appearance.
Preserved with potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate and phenoxyethanol.
Dill seed extract is high in Vitamin A, Carotenoids, and Vitamin B. The elastin protein in skin benefits from the nutrients in dill seed extract.
Elastin is responsible for the skin’s elasticity. The breakdown of elastin can lead to age lines and wrinkles. Strengthening the elastin is key to effective anti-aging cosmetics.
