Broccoli Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Brassica oleracea italica to yield an extra virgin, unrefined, odorless, pale green oil. The fatty acid profile of this oil provides excellent oxidative stability and non-greasy moisturizing properties, making Broccoli Seed Oil a valuable emollient in cosmetics and personal care.
Broccoli Oil is gaining recognition as a natural alternative to the silicon in shampoos, conditioners and styling products where high sheen and luster are desired. The unique composition of fatty acids includes approximately 50% Erucic acid (C22:1). Erucic acid is an Omega-9 fatty acid that is useful for imparting a silicone-like sheen to hair.
When added to massage products, creams and lotions, the quick penetrating action of Broccoli Seed Oil helps reduce greasy after-feel, and it quickens hydration of the skin.

overall, yes, but broccoli seed oil is expensive across the board, regardless of vendor.i would love to try, my hair does not like silicone. I purchase quite frequently FNWL; i find the prices to be fair.
I started a FNWL shopping cart in Nov. and plan to make some purchases at the end of Dec. I'm thinking about adding it to my cart.overall, yes, but broccoli seed oil is expensive across the board, regardless of vendor.
@BlkOnyx488Wow ebay has a bottle 8oz for 38.00
but I am intrigued I think I will buy it.
my justification being I don't pay other people to do my hair so I can afford to be a little more chic with my hair products
hee hee

FNWL has it for $39.93 (8 oz.). What's the e-Bay shipping cost?
BTW, the only coupon I could find for FNWL is for 7% off. And their shipping/handling is high.

@Kurlee what are some of the prices you've seen and where?
Would more than 4 oz. be needed for a year's supply?
Are you using it in shampoos, DCs, Leave-ins?
Do you think it would work well in a flat-ironing reggie? I haven't straightened my hair in over 2 yrs and I'm trying to work out a reggie.

BlkOnyx488 Didn't see your question before I answered Kurlee's post. It's $11.50; so per ounce cost still is way cheaper than others I've seen at $1.05/oz.@Pompous Blue
Do you know what the shipping prices are. they don't tell you untill after you have registered
Kurlee I signed up, too.i ssigned up for the newsletter. hoping for a coupon
IDareT'sHair I saw that. But I'm getting the oil to use in several different applications. I already have the other ingredients she uses in her hair butter so it'll be a duplicate to order from Saravun.I've been using this and it's very, very nice! Very Nice!

IDareT'sHair Will do. It'll probably be the end of the month before I mix and whip up anything. Gots to get the broccoli seed oil 1st. But I do want to use the oil when I flat-iron my hair.@Pompous Blue That's Great Blue! Lemme know how "Yours" Turns Out!
I really Love hers. It's nice and Whippy & Moisturizing.
And I know I ain't mixin' up nothin'.
Okay leiah spill the beans.It doesn't do anything special for me, but I only use small amounts because it was expensive and I feel like I have to make my small bottle last!
