The plant it comes from is “nigella sativa” (it’s got nothing to do with cannabis – just another plant). This stuff has been around for thousands of years, mostly used by humans to spice up food.

Recent studies have identified a compound called “Thymoquinone” in the oil, which is hypothesized to be the super hero ingredient in helping to treat skin conditions.
