Do you know the benefits of these oils?
And first of all, a little reminder: in our products, we use both vegetable oils and essential oils... and we tend to confuse them, but they are totally different products! Vegetable oils are fats extracted from dried fruits, seeds or flowers. They contain vitamins and fatty acids, and have nutritive, softening, protective and regenerative properties that are very beneficial to the skin and hair. There are no contraindications to their use, they can even be used pure. These oils are used as a basis for the dilution of essential oils, which are not actually oils but concentrates of volatile substances from flowers, stems, roots or leaves of plants. Essential oils also have great therapeutic virtues for the skin and hair (toning, purifying, soothing...), but be careful because they are not recommended for young children, pregnant women, or when exposed to the sun.
Focus on the 5 vegetable oils that make up our Care Oil!
The regenerating prickly pear seed oil
As you can see, this is our star oil, we don't need to introduce it anymore! Obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the catus fruit, it is still a very rare oil and not much used in cosmetics. It is very rich in linoleic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and sterols. It helps to fight against free radicals, and has a real capacity of cellular rejuvenation particularly adapted to curly hair which is often dry and dehydrated. It is also important to know that the vitamin E present in this oil protects the hair and scalp against dryness, heat (from the hair dryer for example), and breakage (due to brushing or chemical treatment).
Jojoba oil - rebalancing
Jojoba is one of the best cosmetic ingredients in the world, thanks to its excellent emolliency, hydration and oxidation stability properties. However, jojoba oil is probably also the most "misunderstood" cosmetic ingredient: in fact, it is not strictly speaking an oil, but a liquid wax from the seeds of the jojoba tree (also called wild hazelnut) that grows in South America. The huge roots of this tree (up to more than 30 meters long!) allow it to "capture" moisture in desert soils, and it has therefore a very high resistance to drought. The composition of jojoba oil is close to that of human sebum, and it therefore has an excellent affinity with the skin and hair! Its dry texture and its composition, which is quite different from most vegetable oils, give it qualities that are highly sought after in cosmetics: it helps strengthen the hydrolipidic film and regulate the flow of sebum in oily skin, and it restores strength and shine to the hair - especially if the lengths are dry or brittle. Natural jojoba conditions the hair and prevents it from becoming brittle and dull when exposed to adverse conditions. It brings out the hair's natural shades and shine.
L'huile d'amande douce apaisante
Originaire du Moyen-Orient, l'amandier a été répandu dans l'Antiquité le long des rives de la Méditerranée jusqu'en Afrique du Nord et au sud de l'Europe, et plus récemment transporté dans d'autres parties du monde, notamment en Californie. Riche en graisses monoinsaturées (les "bonnes" graisses, oméga-9), en acides gras (omega-6), en vitamines A, B, D et E, en protéines et en minéraux (fer magnésium, le phosphore, le potassium et zinc), l'huile d'amande douce a notamment des propriétés régénératrices, anti-oxydantes, hydratantes, fortifiantes et émollientes. Grâce à sa haute teneur en acides gras, elle nourrit les cheveux en profondeur, renforce les cheveux abîmés et fragilisés, et les rend doux et brillants. De plus, elle régule la production de sébum, soulage les démangeaisons du cuir chevelu et se débarrasse des peaux mortes et des pellicules.
The restoring macadamia nut oil
Ideal for protecting the skin and hair, especially against UV rays, this hair oil is THE miracle solution for dry, dull and damaged hair, but also for fragile, oily or unbalanced skin. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it is regenerating, nourishing and rehydrates the hair fibers in depth.
Nourishing safflower seed oil
It protects the most sensitive skin and hair. The very high content of linoleic acid (Omega 6) associated with the presence of oleic acid (Omega 9) gives safflower vegetable oil the reputation of stimulating cell regeneration. It nourishes the hair in depth and is emollient and softening.
