The primary bioactive constituent, thymoquinone, has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, amongst many others. This naturally offers itself to an array of cosmeceutical and nutraceutical applications(2). Given the increased research interest in cosmeceutical applications of natural compounds, Thymocid™ has been developed to hone in on the potential offerings of Nigella and, in particular, thymoquinone (TQ). Thymocid™, the seed oil from *Nigella sativa* seeds, contains a majority of the bioactive component thymoquinone. Thymocid also contains more than 50% of the nourishing essential omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid.   **What you will learn inside:** 1. Antioxidant Properties 2. Scavenging Capability 3.
