Oil for skin; once a paradox in the beauty realm, oils are now enjoying their golden moment — and with good reason. We’ve broken down our top seven oils with their skin-saving abilities to have you glowing as nature intended.
Tamanu Oil
Found in parts of South East Asia and the Pacific Islands from the kernel of the tamanu tree, tamanu oil has been used for centuries as a topical anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and soothing treatment. Today we know it as one of the miracle oils with its ability to speed up cell regeneration and triumph over scars and stretch marks.
Carrot Seed Oil
An essential addition for anti-aging remedies, carrot seed oil’s benefits are seemingly endless; it’s rich in antioxidants, contains Vitamins C and E to moisturise and protect and the carotol content assists in the rejuvenation and appearance of the skin.
Rosehip Oil
For total nourishment and complete hydration, rosehip oil and its essential fatty acids delays aging, promotes cell turnover and boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin. Known as a ‘dry oil’, rosehip soaks into the skin easily without greasy residue making it gentle on sensitive skin.
Avocado Oil
From super food to super oil, avocado oil contains vitamins A, B1&B2, D and E to deeply penetrate the skin to replace lost moisture. Also a great source of lecithin, the yellowing fatty substance acts as a super emulsifier and is also high in sterolin to soften skin.
