Wild Sumac Seed Oil
Wild Sumac Seed Oil
Rhus coriaria, commonly known as wild sumac, is a remarkable plant native to the Mediterranean region. We sustainably harvest the sumac berries from the Troodos mountains. After we clean and dry them, we cold-press the seeds to produce wild sumac seed oil.
Wild sumac is known for its tangy, citrus-like flavor, often used in Middle Eastern cuisine to enhance dishes like salads, meats, and rice. The oil derived from its seeds carries a unique rich taste and is celebrated for its antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, sumac has been valued not only for culinary uses but also for its medicinal applications. It has been used to support digestive health and as a natural remedy for respiratory issues. The oil is rich in beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants which may promote skin health and hydration when applied topically (That's why it's one of our ingredients in the Seasonal Face Oil).
In addition to its culinary and medicinal uses, wild sumac is also associated with various cultural practices. In some regions, it symbolizes resilience and the beauty of nature.

After a recent visit to Cyprus, I came across the MOST AMAZING production centre of essential oils based in Larnaca. I’m a retired reflexologist and had found no oils to equal the quality of theirs.
I did a reflexology session on a friend with Sumac Oil, while in Cyprus. She had been suffering from red, flaky and itchy skin between the toes of her right foot for 14 months. The oil is soft and velvety to the touch, and was absorbed into the skin perfectly appropriately to allow this smooth touch right to the end.
She rang a few days later to say that her skin was very much improved - and the itching had completely disappeared. Two weeks have gone by and still no itching !

I had never heard of sumac oil, even though I had made syrup from Sumac flowers in Canada, according to an Indigenous recipe (delicious). My first encounter with sumac oil was through a reflexology treatment, and my reflexologist gave this oil a standing ovation. I continued to apply it to my feet, where I had been suffering from eczema for 1 year. Within a few days, my red exzema, and all the dry hard skin was gone. I have been using the facial oil blend and am so grateful because my skin (very dry and sensitive) has become younger and more elastic. I am addicted!!! I am so grateful that you ship across Europe! Thank you so much for these beautiful, high quality products!
