Virgin Plum Oil
Virgin Plum Oil is a luxurious, cold-pressed oil extracted from the kernels of fresh plums. It has a light, silky texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel, making it a popular choice in premium skincare and haircare products across the UK.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, virgin plum oil functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Its naturally high content of oleic and linoleic fatty acids helps to replenish the skin’s lipid barrier, while the oil’s light molecular weight allows it to penetrate rapidly, delivering softness and a healthy-looking glow without clogging pores.
