Ingredients Details
Almond Oil
Common Name(s): Almond oil,botanical carrier oil,emollient fatty acid delivery
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Softens and conditions skin by integrating into sc lipid bilayers, delivers essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) for barrier lipid synthesis, and provides rich, non-stripping moisturisation.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide the closest compositional match to endogenous sc lipids, delivering emolliency through genuine barrier integration rather than simple surface occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides partition into sc lipid bilayers โ oleic acid (c18:1) provides fluid, emollient integration; linoleic acid (c18:2) acts as essential ceramide precursor; saturated fatty acids provide more occlusive barrier reinforcement.
Typically Found In: Moisturisers,facial oils,natural skin care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Essential fatty acids โ linoleic (c18:2, n-6) and ฮฑ-linolenic (c18:3, n-3) acids โ cannot be synthesised by the body; topical delivery through carrier oils provides direct substrate for ceramide and eicosanoid biosynthesis in the epidermis.

Jojoba Oil
Common Name(s): Jojoba oil,jojoba seed oil
CAS Number: 61789-91-1
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides sebum-identical emolliency with outstanding oxidative stability and non-comedogenic profile.
Why It's Used: The most sebum-compatible plant oil โ its wax ester composition mimics human sebum for superior skin compatibility across all skin types including oily and acne-prone.
How It Works: Liquid wax ester composition (primarily c20:1 and c22:1 wax esters) provides exceptional molecular mimicry of human sebum wax esters. regulates sebum production via negative feedback to sebaceous glands. remarkable oxidative stability from fully unsaturated wax ester structure vs polyunsaturated triglycerides.
Typically Found In: Facial oils,hair oils,serums,body care,lip care,virtually all product categories
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Sebum balancing,oxidative stability,non-comedogenic
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seeds
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Cold-pressed from jojoba seeds. among the most oxidation-stable plant oils (shelf life 5+ years). desert-grown, drought-resistant crop.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic; sebum-identical composition
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Jojoba oil's wax ester composition is uniquely different from all other plant oils (which are triglycerides). human sebum contains approximately 25% wax esters โ the proportion matched by jojoba. this structural identity explains jojoba's superior skin and hair compatibility versus conventional triglyceride oils.

Olive Oil
Common Name(s): Olive oil oil
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Nourishes and softens skin through its balanced fatty acid profile, while antioxidant compounds protect against oxidative skin damage.
Why It's Used: Plant oils provide physiologically compatible lipid structures that integrate into the skin barrier and deliver fat-soluble antioxidants directly to skin cells.
How It Works: Fatty acids integrate into stratum corneum lipid lamellae, reinforcing the lipid barrier. antioxidants (tocopherols, carotenoids, polyphenols) neutralize ros through electron donation or singlet oxygen quenching.
Typically Found In: Face oils,serums,moisturizers,hair treatments,body oils
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Plant oils
Secondary Functions: Emollient,antioxidant
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care

Comedogenicity Rating: 1900-01-01 00:00:00 -0800
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Vitamin e,ceramides,other plant oils,squalane
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizers (accelerate rancidity)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Vegetable oils are triglyceride matrices where the fatty acid composition determines skin compatibility, barrier function, and comedogenicity. oleic acid-rich oils (>60%) soften barrier lipids and enhance penetration; linoleic acid-rich oils reinforce ceramide-poor stratum corneum; saturated fatty acid-rich oils provide occlusion without skin penetration.
