Blackcurrant Seed Oil Blend | Natural Face Oil for Eczema-Prone Skin
Description
A natural botanical face and body oil for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Handcrafted in the UK with cold-pressed blackcurrant seed oil and evening primrose oil — botanicals rich in naturally occurring fatty acids — blended into a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil that leaves skin feeling soft, comfortable and replenished.
Why it works
A favourite among customers with dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin who are looking for a gentle, plant-based oil for everyday comfort. Blackcurrant seed oil sits at the heart of the blend — one of the richest natural plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid long valued in skincare for caring for dry and delicate skin.
Alongside it, evening primrose oil adds more of that prized fatty-acid content, while jojoba, avocado and olive oils provide breathable, nourishing hydration that absorbs quickly without a greasy residue. A soft note of lavender and patchouli gives the oil a calming, natural aroma — there's no synthetic fragrance, no parabens and no dyes.
Since 2007, Sera Organics has been crafting plant-based, cruelty-free skincare from a small workshop in Essex. Doctor-developed and dermatologist-approved, this oil is gentle enough for the most sensitive skin and made for daily use. For skin concerns that are severe or persistent, a GP or pharmacist can always offer guidance.
How to use
Apply to clean, dry skin. Massage a few drops gently into the face or body until fully absorbed. Use once or twice daily, or whenever skin would welcome extra comfort. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and build up if needed.
For external use only. As with any new skincare oil, perform a patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before first use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is blackcurrant seed oil and why is it valued in skincare?
Blackcurrant seed oil is a cold-pressed botanical oil pressed from the seeds of the blackcurrant plant (Ribes nigrum). It's one of the richest natural plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that has long been valued in skincare for caring for dry, delicate and sensitive skin. It's a particular favourite among customers with eczema-prone skin who prefer a natural, plant-based approach to everyday skin comfort.
How does it compare to evening primrose oil?
Evening primrose oil is the other well-known natural source of GLA, and it's a question customers often ask. Blackcurrant seed oil is actually one of the richer natural sources of GLA, and it also contains other beneficial fatty acids that evening primrose oil doesn't. Rather than choose between them, this blend includes both — so you get the qualities of each in a single oil.
Can I use this on eczema-prone skin?
This oil is loved by many customers with eczema-prone skin, who use it as part of a gentle daily routine to keep dry, delicate skin feeling soft and comfortable. It's a cosmetic skincare oil rather than a medical product, so it sits alongside — not in place of — any advice or products recommended by a GP, pharmacist or dermatologist. If your skin is severely affected, a healthcare professional is always the right first port of call.
How does this compare to your other skin balms and oils?
This Blackcurrant Seed Oil Blend is a lightweight oil, designed for the face and body, and built around GLA-rich botanicals for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Our Tamanu Hemp Balm is the balm-textured equivalent — a richer option for sensitive, reactive skin. Many customers like having both: the oil for a light, fast-absorbing layer, and the balm for a more cushioning feel.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The oil is built around gentle, plant-based ingredients and is free from synthetic fragrance, parabens and dyes. It does contain lavender and patchouli essential oils in small amounts, which can occasionally be reactive on very sensitive skin. We always recommend a patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before first use, and discontinuing if any redness or discomfort develops.
How long does a 100ml bottle last?
Because only a few drops are needed each time, a 100ml bottle lasts most people a good number of weeks with daily use. Stored away from direct heat and light, the oil has a 12-month shelf life once opened.
