Cyperus rotundus oil comes from the roots of the nutgrass plant and is a traditional oil used after hair removal in Morocco and the Middle East. Applied to freshly shaved, waxed or lasered skin, it soothes, softens and, with regular use, helps hair look finer and less visible over time.
What does cyperus rotundus oil do?
Our Cyperus Rotundus Oil is a light, fast-absorbing botanical oil designed for your post-hair-removal routine. With consistent use it:
- helps regrowth look finer, softer and less visible over time
- helps minimise ingrown hairs and razor bumps
- soothes skin after waxing, shaving, sugaring or laser
- leaves skin soft and smooth, with no greasy feel
Results vary from person to person and build gradually, usually over several weeks of regular use.
How to use it
- Remove hair as usual: shave, wax, sugar, epilate or laser.
- Make sure the skin is clean and dry.
- Apply a few drops and massage gently until fully absorbed.
- Repeat daily, or at least after every hair removal session, for best results.
It's ideal for underarms, legs, arms and the bikini line.
The complete hair removal ritual
For smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs, combine it with the traditional hammam steps:
- Soften the skin with Moroccan Black Soap.
- Exfoliate before hair removal (never straight after) with the Kessa Glove to free trapped hairs.
- Remove hair.
- Apply Cyperus Rotundus Oil.
Our Hair Removal Set brings all of these together. For bumpy, dotted skin, read our strawberry legs guide.
