Cress Seed Oil

Cold-Pressed Garden Cress Seed Oil

Garden Cress Seed Oil (Lepidium sativum), known regionally as hab al rashad (حب الرشاد), is cold-pressed in our own facility in Jordan from carefully selected seed. No heat, no solvents, no refining — the oil comes out of the press and into the bottle much as it left the seed.

What it is

Cress belongs to the Brassicaceae family, alongside mustard and watercress, and the oil carries some of that family's characteristic warmth and pepper. It is an unusually rich plant source of alpha-linolenic acid — an omega-3 fatty acid — alongside omega-6 and omega-9, and naturally contains tocopherols. Nutritional research describes cress seed as a nutrient-dense crop, with a protein content of 21–25% and around 23–25% oil.

The colour ranges from deep amber to reddish-brown, and the aroma is distinctly peppery. This is not a neutral oil. It tastes of what it is.

How it's used

In hair care — Cress seed oil has a long history in hair preparations across the Middle East and South Asia. It is naturally sulfur-bearing, and it is one of the twelve oils in our own hair blend. Massage into the scalp and lengths, leave for thirty minutes or more, then wash out.

In cooking — Used sparingly as a finishing oil, where its pepper works in the same way a good mustard oil does. Not suited to frying; heat blunts the character you paid for.

A flavouring, not a cooking oil. This is one of our registered food flavourings — used by the drop rather than the spoonful. A few drops carry the character of the whole spice, so it goes into a dish at the end rather than into the pan. One drop typically replaces a spoonful of the ground spice.

In formulation — Used by natural cosmetic manufacturers in hair oils, scalp treatments, and skin preparations, either alone or blended with lighter carrier oils.

How it's made

Cold-pressed on German machinery without heat or chemical solvents, then filtered and bottled. Unrefined, non-GMO, hexane-free, and vegan-friendly. Nothing added.

Produced in an ISO 22000 certified facility and tested by independent third parties. Halal certified. Available in retail bottles, bulk, and private label.

Storage and care

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. As with all unrefined natural oils, colour, aroma and viscosity may vary slightly between batches with the season and harvest.

The Truth About Most Oil on the Market

When it comes to oils, you’ve probably seen a lot of brands claiming “pure,” “natural,” or even “organic” on their labels. But what does that really mean? The sad truth is that many oils on the market are processed in ways that take away their benefits.

Here’s how most oils are extracted in the market:

  • Hexane Extraction: One of the most common methods used to extract oil from seeds, nuts, and fruits is with hexane(a harsh chemical solvent that removes essential nutrients). The problem? Even trace amounts of hexane can be harmful to your body over time. Many big brands use this method because it’s cheap and efficient, but it’s definitely very harmful.

  • High-Temperature Processing: In an effort to increase yield and shelf-life, many oils are subjected to high heat during the extraction process. While this might make the oil cheaper to produce, it also destroys the natural vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that make these oils so beneficial.

  • Deodorizing & Bleaching: Some oils go through additional processes like deodorizing and bleaching to remove any natural smell or color. This further strips away the natural benefits, leaving you with an oil that’s not much more than an oily liquid

Why Is This a Problem?

So why should you care about all this?

  • Toxic Chemicals: Hexane and other solvents aren’t something you want to put on your skin or hair. These chemicals can cause irritation, long-term damage, and are potentially carcinogenic.

  • Lack of Effectiveness: Without the natural properties intact, oils lose their ability to nourish, hydrate, and protect. So you might find that what you thought would be a great skin or hair treatment actually does little to nothing over time.

  • Nutrient Loss: Heat and chemical processing destroy key vitamins and antioxidants that are crucial for your skin and hair health. Without these nutrients, you’re left with an oil that might feel smooth but won’t actually help you in the long run.

What Makes Our Oils Different?

At Green Fields Oils Factory want to give you the purest, most natural product possible, and here’s how we do it:

  • No Hexane, No Chemicals: We don’t use any chemical solvents like hexane to extract our oils. We believe that oils should be pure, which is why we only use methods like cold-pressing or steam-distillation to retain all the beneficial properties of the oil.

  • Cold-Pressed for Maximum Purity: While other brands may choose the quick and easy route of heating their oils to increase yield, we stick to the more labor-intensive and time-. Cold pressing is the gentlest method of extracting oils, ensuring that no heat or chemicals interfere with the natural nutrients. This method preserves the antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that are essential for your skin and hair.

  • Fresh, Unrefined Oil: We don’t believe in bleaching or deodorizing our oils. When you buy from us, you get unrefined, fresh oils that retain all their natural color, scent, and nutrients. 

What Does This Mean for You?

Choosing our oils isn’t just about going with a “healthier” option.. it’s about giving your skin, hair, and your heath the absolute best. Here’s how our oils stand out:

  • Higher Nutrient Content: Because we don’t heat or chemically treat our oils, they retain more vitamins and antioxidants>> making them far more effective at nourishing, hydrating, and protecting your skin and hair.

  • True Purity: No chemicals, no preservatives, and no unnecessary processes. What’s in the bottle is what you need, in its most natural form.

  • Long-Term Benefits: Over time, you’ll notice real results. Our oils work with your body, not against it. They help restore.

  • Sustainability & Quality: We’re committed to being transparent, ethical, and environmentally conscious. Our oils are produced actually responsibly, WITH A REAL CYCLIC METHODS!!! with a focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that you’re getting the best of nature with each drop.

Why Settle for Less?

While the market is flooded with cheap, mass-produced oils that rely on harmful chemicals and high temperatures, you don’t have to settle for anything less than the best. Our oils are pressed and distilled with care, using methods that ensure they’re as pure and effective as nature intended.  

Cress Seeds... A Tiny Superfood with a Rich History

Cress seeds may be small, but their legacy is mighty! These tiny seeds have been used for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egypt, where they were valued for their healing properties and often consumed by pharaohs and warriors alike.

In Ayurveda, India’s traditional medicine system, cress seeds, also known as Halim or Garden Cress Seeds, were prescribed for everything from boosting immunity to enhancing hair growth and digestion.

The Greeks and Romans also recognized their benefits, using them as a natural remedy for respiratory issues and to improve stamina. Some even believed that cress seeds sharpened the mind and were consumed by scholars before long study sessions! In medieval Europe, they became a go-to tonic for blood purification and were commonly included in herbal medicine to aid recovery from illness.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that cress seeds were once considered a "secret weapon" for strength? Roman soldiers reportedly ate them before battles to stay energized and alert. Today, science backs their incredible nutritional value.... these tiny seeds are loaded with iron, folic acid, fiber, and omega-3s, making them a real treasure for overall health.
