Karanja oil

Karanja oil (Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil) from controlled organic cultivation

Natural sun protection & skin care in one

Karanja oil, also known as pongamia oil, is obtained by gently cold-pressing the seeds of the Indian karanja tree. This golden-yellow plant oil has the ability to powerfully absorb UV rays – with a purely plant-based SPF of approximately 30+. However, due to legal requirements of the EU Cosmetics Regulation, this natural UV protection cannot be officially labeled, as only chemical or mineral UV filters are permitted.

Tradition & Impact

In Ayurvedic medicine, Karanja oil has been used for centuries to relieve skin problems such as:

Psoriasis
acne
Eczema

Its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable ingredient for sensitive, irritated and problematic skin.

Care for skin barrier & anti-aging effect

Karanja oil contains a variety of bioactive ingredients such as:

essential fatty acids
Vitamin E
Antioxidants

These strengthen the skin barrier, moisturize, and protect against premature aging. The oil's light texture ensures it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film—also ideal as a base for day creams or sunscreen products.

Especially appreciated in the myrto Sunshine Day Oil line

Thanks to its versatile effects, Karanja oil forms the nourishing basis of myrto Sunshine Day Oil products – for natural protection, intensive care and a balanced skin appearance.
