Oxford, CT (June 2, 2009) - Natural Sourcing is pleased to announce the addition of Karanja Oil [INCI: Pongamia glabra (Karanja) Seed Oil] to its growing line of specialty oils for use in innovative personal care and natural pest repellent products.

Native to India, Karanja Oil is pressed from the seeds of the Pongam Tree. The Pongam is a fragrant, flowering tree that is considered a cousin to Neem. Karanja Oil offers an array of similar therapeutic benefits to that of its pungent relative while offering a milder, pleasant aroma that is much more versatile for use in cosmeceutical applications.

Karanja Oil is highly recommended for inclusion in moisturizers and hair care products where emolliency is desired. In skin care, Karanja Oil is used to treat eczema, psoriasis, skin ulcers, dandruff and to promote wound healing.

Karanja Oil is also prized for its insecticidal and antiseptic properties and is utilized in pet care for the treatment of fleas, mange, and scabies. Its insecticidal properties also make Karanja Oil great for agricultural use, serving as a natural pest repellent.

Karanja Oil Physical Characteristics:

• Stable Shelf Life (2 Years)
• Golden Brown Color
• Moderate Viscosity
• Quick Absorption
• Distinctive Yet Mild, Nutty Aroma
• High Oleic (Omega-9) Fatty Acid Content: >50%
