People have been using oils for skin care for centuries. Generations have touted for their various moisturising, protective and antibacterial properties. They are so deeply rooted in natural cosmetics that today we often reach for pure oil to replace a balm or lotion. But this is not their only use.
Vegetable oils are most often derived from seeds, fruits, and sprouts from organic farming, cold-pressed and unrefined, which allows for obtaining a pure raw material with high value. Their composition is characterized by a large number of components with a structure similar to that found in human skin, thanks to which they are easily absorbed by it.
