These can be termed ‘crossover’ ingredients; that is, crossing over from ingestible to topical usage. Now, an ancient product used extensively in Middle Eastern and Ayurvedic traditions is currently available to formulation chemists in organic and conventional versions, black cumin seed oil (Nigella sativa seed oil).”
