Plant-Derived Oils

How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare, plant-derived oils function as emollients that soften and smooth the skin by forming a light protective barrier which helps prevent moisture loss. They are rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that condition the skin and hair, improve product texture and act as natural delivery systems for other active ingredients in creams, serums, cleansers and hair oils.

Where it comes from

Plant-derived oils are obtained from various parts of plants including seeds (such as jojoba, argan and rosehip), nuts (almond and coconut), fruits (avocado and olive) and flowers (evening primrose and marigold). They are typically cold-pressed or gently extracted to preserve their natural fatty acids, vitamins and bioactive compounds.
