In the category of organic cosmetics, vegetable oil has a place of choice and is available in a multitude of recipes, from plants known for their benefits. For hair and body , there is almost always a vegetable oil that will overcome your little worries.
To be sure that you will find what you are looking for, NUOO has selected dozens of pure vegetable oils , as well as products that combine the oil with other natural components. Which oil to choose among all those proposed? What are they made of? How to use them? We tell you everything!
Let’s start with…the beginning:what a vegetable oil really is. The first thing to know is that it comes from a plant, and therefore natural. Most of the oils are obtained from nuts and oilseeds (coconut oil, almond, argan, hazelnut, etc.) or from seeds (castor, nigella, hemp, etc.). It actually involves extracting an oily liquid from the plant, which can be obtained through various methods.
The most recognized technique, allowing to preserve a maximum of the benefits of the oil , is the cold pressure. It simply consists of squeezing the raw material to release the juice and letting the aqueous and oily parts separate.
Within the NUOO offer, vegetable oils are widely represented, because we know how good they can do you . Are you still not convinced? Here are a few reasons that should seduce you and encourage you to make them a star product in your beauty routine and integrate them into your homemade treatments:
One of the reasons many of you turn to vegetable oils is dry skin , on the whole body, the face or certain very specific areas. In this case, favor particularly nourishing oils such as vegetable oil of avocado, shea or sweet almond . Simply massage the affected area with a few drops of oil until absorbed.
In case of irritation or redness and for all sensitive skin, certain vegetable oils are particularly soothing. Think for example of calendula macerate, camelina vegetable oil, lily oil or sweet almond. They are also ideal for nourishing and softening the eye area, but also for gentle make-up removal , applying a few drops of oil on a cotton ball.
It is sometimes thought that the presence of fatty acids in vegetable oils makes them unsuitable for oily skin, which suffers from excess sebum . In fact, there are rebalancing oils , which will nourish the skin without suffocating it. This is particularly the case with vegetable oil of jojoba, hazelnut or grapeseed, which can be used for facial care.
Another power of certain vegetable oils:to facilitate the healing process. These include jojoba or rosehip oil , for the best known. But you can also rely on calophyllum oil, shea butter, castor oil, etc. It is advisable to massage the affected area morning and evening, both on wounds to heal (after cleaning and disinfection!), and on recent or older scars.
