October 12, 2023
From almond oil to moringa oil, we discover some of the most effective oils for deep skin moisturization with anti-aging and tissue regeneration effects.
Combined in a unique formulation, they enhance their extraordinary effects in renewing, protecting and caring for the skin. Below are the key features:
This is a recommended oil for every skin type, from adults to newborns. It softens the skin: Sweet almond oil has excellent protective properties and is particularly valued during pregnancy.
It has a decisive repairing and firming effect on the skin due to the content of vitamin E, vitamin B , antioxidant substances and phytosterols, which are effective for stretch marks, cellulite and dark circles . On the hair it is recommended to combat dryness, restore fullness and volume and heal damaged areas.
The combination with moringa oil enhances its firming effects.
Moringa oil
For centuries, moringa oil, extracted from the plant of the same name, has been used in skin and hair care* due to its antioxidant and cleansing properties*.
In ancient Egypt, it was considered a powerful hair care product, and since the 1970s of the 20th century, its properties have been the subject of study and confirmation by researchers around the world.
The high concentration of oleic acid (up to 73.22%) and vitamin E* makes moringa oil an exceptional cosmetic product that gives hair elasticity.
The rare concentration of antioxidants and tocopherols, in combination with the high oleic properties (similar to olive oil), slows down the natural skin aging process by having a firming effect on small wrinkles and scars.*
As highlighted in the article about moringa oil, here are its main components:
Vitamin A, which stimulates the production of skin collagen;
Vitamin C and phenols, with strong antioxidant effects, which protect the skin's DNA and act against the formation of wrinkles;
Cytokinins, such as zeatin (a powerful plant growth hormone), which promotes cell development and slows the aging process.
Finally, but by no means less important, are the highly concentrated monounsaturated oleic acids (omega-9), which improve the skin barrier and leave the skin well hydrated, plumper and younger looking.
Rosehip oil
Rose musk oil is one of the most effective botanical oils for repairing and restoring skin.
It can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, sun damage and age spots by moisturizing dry and parched skin.
It is obtained from the extract of the seeds of the wild rose species Rosa rubiginosa (in Spanish: rosa Mosqueta).
Coming from the southern Andes, it is rich in fatty acids such as Omega-3, Omega-6, Vitamin A and Vitamin E, making it a powerful ally for stimulating skin regenerative processes, anti-aging, anti-spots and minimizing of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks.
Together with moringa oil, it is an exceptional ally against skin imperfections.
Argan oil
In Morocco, argan oil, extracted from the Argania Spinosa, is an institution: it is known for its amazing properties to give shine to both hair and skin and has been used as a beauty secret by women for 8 centuries.
It contains good amounts of vitamin E, antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-6, which deeply nourish and renew the skin and hair, leaving them soft and silky and acting on the skin as an effective anti-aging agent.
When combined with moringa oil, it potentiates its moisturizing effects .
Jojoba oil
It has a molecular structure similar to human sebum and for this reason it combats problems of dehydration and dryness of the skin and hair very effectively, which has an anti-aging effect and fights irritations.
Jojoba oil, obtained from the pressing of Simmondsia chinensis and native to the southern regions of Arizona, California and Mexico, is high in vitamin E, B vitamins,antioxidants and essential minerals such as zinc, iodine and copper.
It is a type of liquid wax that was used by pre-Columbian peoples to protect skin and hair from external influences. Its significantly firming effect unfolds by regenerating tissue and keeping the skin barrier intact.
Combined with Moringa , it becomes an incredibly effective shield that protects the epidermal cells from external attacks (such as smog, sun rays, cold, pollution, blue light, etc.) and preserves the integrity of the skin.
Shea butter
Jojoba oil comes from Africa, more specifically from the savannahs, where the climatic conditions can often be extreme;
For this reason, shea butter (Vitellaria paradoxa) has always been used by local populations to nourish the hair and epidermis and protect against cracks and redness. It also works great against skin aging due to its blend of fatty acids.
Additionally, vitamins A, D, E and F make shea butter an amazing soothing agent that regenerates and nourishes the skin to heal minor imperfections. In combination with Moringa, its protective and calming effect is enhanced and the moisture balance and tissue health are maintained.
Macadamia oil
Shea butter contains properties similar to human lipids (palmitoleic acid) that make skin firm and smooth.
Macadamia oil, which comes from the nut of a plant ( Macadamia integrifolia ) in the South Pacific, is rich in healthy fatty acids that are beneficial for both mature and young skin.
It is particularly suitable for caring for dry and cracked skin, reducing scars and preventing stretch marks and wrinkles. Due to its high content of vitamin E, oleic acid and omega-3, it makes the skin elastic and firm by combating oxidative stress on cells.
In combination with moringa oil, it increases the regenerative stimuli for the tissue.
Grapeseed oil
Grapeseed oil possesses remarkable anti-aging and anti-blemish properties due to its rich content of polyphenols and antioxidants.
Additionally, it is rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (which is also found in large quantities in moringa oil), which is involved in the antioxidant processes of cells.
These substances help stimulate local blood circulation, tighten, brighten and depigment the skin.
When combined with moringa oil, its anti-aging effects are enhanced.
Avocado oil
A precious collection of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory substances, beta-carotene, proteins, lecithin, fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E, which help to make the skin smooth and elastic and strengthen its structure.
It improves collagen metabolism, moisturizes and protects the skin from UV rays.
The linoleic acid, oleic acid, and other monounsaturated fatty acids contained in avocado oil may accelerate wound healing, and the vitamin B-12 contained in it may relieve the symptoms of psoriasis.
The combination of avocado oil with moringa oil can enhance its firming effects and significantly promote the regeneration of skin and hair.
olive oil
Olive oil contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and is rich in antioxidants, which help fight cell oxidation and therefore delay premature skin aging.
In some cases, olive oil has been valued for treating psoriasis and eczema, including after sun exposure.
It is actually also used as a post-burn sedative and as a restorative agent for skin, hair and nails, due to the high content of oleic acid, which leads to increased elasticity of the hair shafts.
When combined with Moringa Oil, the emollient, firming and restorative properties are strengthened by stimulating keratin production.
