Product description:
The Kiwi fruit is native to China, however in recent years New Zealand, home of the Kiwi Bird which the fruit is named after has taken over in cultivation followed by the United States and Italy.
The Kiwi fruit has a thin fibrous brown skin with an ovoid (egg-like) shape and soft edible green fruit with hundreds of tiny black seeds which are cold pressed to give us this light, easily absorbent, non comedogenic skin and hair care power oil.
The cold pressed oil in its pure, unrefined, virgin state as we offer at Mo’s has a high percentage of and is one of the richest sources of plant based EFAs all of which makes it the perfect skin oil for dry, mature, aging types.
