Silybum marianum, also known as "Mary's thistle" or "milk thistle" in Turkey, is a plant that naturally grows in the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, and North Africa. Silybum marianum oil has been used for various medicinal purposes since ancient Greek and Roman times. In the Middle Ages, the plant was used to improve liver function and is still used in modern medicine today.
Today, the production of Milk Thistle Seed Oil is mainly done in Southeastern Europe. The seeds are harvested first and then turned into oil using the cold-pressing method. The cold-pressing process is done by crushing and squeezing the seeds, which preserves the quality and nutritional value of the oil.
Milk Thistle Oil has a unique aroma. Its scent is light, pleasant, and herbaceous. The oil is usually characterized by a sweet, nutty aroma. Additionally, some people compare its scent to that of almond oil.
