oils
Natural plant oils have been used for skin and hair care for centuries due to their high content of vitamins and essential unsaturated fatty acids. It is plant oils that are often used as the main active ingredients in various cosmetic products as they have a positive effect on skin, hair and nails. Most oils have moisturising, nourishing, rejuvenating, antiseptic and other properties.
Today, a large number of plant oils are known and widely used in the production of cosmetics. There are three primary types of plant oils: vegetable oils and fats, macerated oils and essential oils. Besides, oils can be divided into types depending on their properties and/or designation. For example, there are skin care oils (face oils), hair oils, body oils, etc. Vegetable oils are sometimes divided into oils proper (substances that are liquid at room temperature) and butters.
Each plant oil has its peculiar properties and its designation. The choice of the most suitable oil depends on your skin/hair type and the task you need to solve. For example, avocado oil, shea butter, macadamia oil, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, coconut oil and sea buckthorn oil are perfect for moisturising dry and dehydrated skin. If you have oily skin, you’d better choose lighter oils such as grape seed oil, hazelnut oil or primrose oil. Essential oils can be used for skincare, too, but you should keep in mind that most essential oils must not be used undiluted.
There are different ways to use plant oils for personal care. Most vegetable oils can be applied onto skin, hair or nails in their pure form as cosmetic masks or for massage. Some prefer to add several drops of oil to cosmetic products such as shampoos, hair conditioners, creams etc. to enrich them with vitamins and other nutrients and to enhance their effect. Finally, vegetable and essential oils can be used to make homemade cosmetics. In this case, they are typically combined with other ingredients such as egg yolks, fruit pulp, yoghurt, oatmeal and others.
