Botanical Vegetable Oils for Clear, Healthy Skin

Oils that come directly from nature have a natural affinity with your skin.

Like proteins and vegetables, botanical oils are food for your skin.

The properties of vegetable oils are far-reaching.

They are replenishing, restoring, and revitalising.

Beautifying Benefits of Vegetable Oils

Your skin has a natural protective barrier function. This barrier combines lipids (oil) and water and sits below the skin’s surface. It prevents water loss and protects the skin from environmental pollutants.

These lipids occur naturally, but over-cleansing and using harsh ingredients can upset your skin’s balance, leaving it unprotected.

This is why we recommend incorporating facial oil into your skincare routine at NC.

Vegetable oils are full of natural goodness, and different oils bring different nutrients to your skin, as you can see below:

Antibacterial oils, such as Tamanu (Calophyllum Inophyllum), offer antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to heal wounds and fight infections.

Avocado oil: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. It protects the skin from free radical damage, preventing premature ageing.

Anti-inflammatory: Calendula oil soothes and calms inflamed skin with its anti-inflammatory properties.

Balancing: Jojoba oil balances natural lipids and normalises skin conditions, treating dry skin and controlling oil production.

Emollient: Botanical oils moisturise and soften skin. Learn more about emollients and their role in caring for your skin here.

Barrier Repairing: Barrier Repair Balm, with exotic butters and botanicals, deeply hydrates and replenishes moisture.

Healing: Argan oil promotes cellular regeneration, helping to repair skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Nourishing: Vegetable oils offer pure goodness, rich in vitamins, phytosterols, and essential fatty acids.

Protecting: Some oils create an invisible protective barrier on your skin, helping maintain the acid mantle.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF): Oils like Red raspberry oil offer natural protection against UVA and UVB rays. Other protective oils include hemp seed, macadamia, sesame seed, shea butter, jojoba seed, coconut, and raspberry seed oils.
