HYDRATING
Oils hydrate the skin by sinking into the spaces between skin cells where they help to lock in water, especially if applied to damp skin.
HYPOALLERGENIC
The more an oil mimics skin, the less likely it is to cause an allergic reaction because the skin will recognize it as ‘same.’
NON-COMEDOGENIC
Non-comedogenic oils do not clog pores so are particularly good for acne prone skin:
Argan Oil Avocado Oil Babassu Oil Castor Oil Jojoba Oil Marula Oil Sunflower Oil
SOOTHING
Natural Oils soothe skin in a variety of ways by damping down inflammation, providing protection against microbes, encouraging new cell growth and by supplying nutrients.
