Traditionally, oils were used in every culture, every tribe and every community. Aside from cooking, oils and fats can be used for candle making, soap making, skin care preparations and medicine. Women oiled their skin with sweet-scented oils for protection from harsh environment, to keep skin healthier and younger as well as to seduce men.
Oils are complex mixtures of lipid and non-lipid compounds with different colors, scents and tastes.
to moisturize and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
The non-lipid portion contains minerals, vitamins, plant sterols, carotenes, squalene and other compounds that add incredible benefits to the oils.
Most importantly, fats and oils are vital building blocks of living organisms. Our body cells are 50% fat and our brain cells are 60% fat. Being a part of every cell, fats enable all the complex biological functioning of the body.
Our cells recognize what nature produces. They are, however, unable to recognize hydrogenated, chemically processed oils that are no longer elements of natural world.
Natural or organic oils that are minimally refined and stored properly maintain healthy body and skin. Natural oils speak the language of our cells.
Skin produces fatty acids which make up about 90% of lipids found on surface of the skin. Plant oils and those produced by skin share many of the same fatty acids so they are compatible.
Different oils due to different fatty acids profile act differently on our skin. That’s why learning those is important when deciding which oil to use for what condition. A proper balance of oils help protect and repair tissues.
In our lab, we study properties of oils and make oil skin preparations based on research and experience for healthy beautiful skin.
