It contains many active components including thymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, dithymoquinone, thymol, carvacrol, nigellimine, nigellicine, nigellidine and alphahederin. It was reported to possess numerous pharmacological effects related to several organs of the body. In this article, the literature pertaining to dermatological effects of N. sativa is reviewed.
