Focus on vegetable oils: properties & uses
Used for centuries in traditional skincare, vegetable oils are true natural treasures. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, they provide the skin with nutrition, suppleness, and protection. At Origine, they are at the heart of our formulas, selected for their effectiveness, gentleness, and traceable origin.
Why use vegetable oils?
Unlike mineral oils derived from petrochemicals, vegetable oils are biodegradable, natural, and biocompatible with the skin . They act in synergy with the skin's hydrolipidic film and allow:
-
to intensely nourish the epidermis,
-
to prevent dehydration ,
-
to repair and soften dry, sensitive or mature skin,
-
to soothe skin inflammations,
-
to boost the effectiveness of water-soluble active ingredients in combined care (serum + oil).
