BLACK CURRANT SEED OIL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Blackcurrant absolute (Bourgeons de cassis absolute, cassis absolute) is obtained by solvent extraction via the concrete obtained from the dormant buds of the blackcurrant bush Ribes nigrumL. (Saxifragaceae). The buds are grown and processed, for example, in France (Burgundy). The yield is ～3%. Black-currant absolute is a dark green paste with the characteristic, powerful, penetrating odor of blackcurrants. The typical “catty” note is caused by a sulfurous trace constituent, 4-methoxy-2-methyl-2-butenethiol.
Blackcurrant absolute is used in fine fragrances and in fruity food flavors.

Chemical Properties

See Currant Black (Leaves). The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flower buds in approximately 0.75% yields. It is a mobile, pale green liquid with a cymene-like odor.

Uses

black currant seed oil may be an effective ingredient for enhancing the skin’s ability to develop normal barrier functions and the protective effect of the corneum layer. Black currant seed oil contains fatty, linoleic, and linolenic acids. When applied to dry skin, it may increase the skin’s own content of these previously lacking components.
