Sweet almond oil

PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL

Sweet almond oil is an oily complex made up of different fatty acids (FA) and active ingredients.

Between the polyunsaturated and the saturated AGs, we find a monounsaturated AG called oleic acid.

It is the most abundant in the human body: it is the main constituent of adipose tissues and plasma. It is also found on a large part of the dermis since it is part of the composition of sebum: a substance naturally secreted by the body to compensate for dryness of the skin and hair. It will play an emollient role, replenishing the skin's lipids.

Thanks to sweet almond oil, the skin barrier is stronger, the stratum corneum is supported, firmer and more permeable to active ingredients.

​In the composition of sweet almond oil, we also find vitamin E, a powerful anti-oxidant. The presence of this vitamin helps limit premature skin aging by preventing damage caused to cells faced with oxidative stress (free radicals, ROS (Reactive Oxygen Derivatives), heavy metals as well as peroxides) which damages the DNA.

Thus the skin is protected and sweet almond oil helps prevent and fight against the appearance and/or accentuation of wrinkles.
