Argan Oil
Common Name(s): Argan oil,moroccan oil
CAS Number: 223747-87-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Conditions and nourishes skin and hair with exceptional fatty acid, squalene, and tocopherol content.
Why It's Used: Premium multi-nutrient facial and hair oil โ its unique phytosterol and squalene composition provides anti-aging benefits beyond simple emolliency.
How It Works: Balanced oleic/linoleic acid ratio provides both emolliency and barrier repair. high squalene content (6-7%) provides antioxidant and sebum-compatible emolliency. tocopherols provide antioxidant stability and skin benefit. phytosterols inhibit 5-alpha-reductase and reduce inflammation.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Argan oil's squalene content (6-7%) is among the highest of all plant oils, second only to olive oil. squalene is an endogenous skin lipid that declines with age, making argan oil's high squalene level particularly relevant for anti-aging facial use โ replenishing both essential fatty acids and age-depleting skin lipids simultaneously.

Shea Butter
Common Name(s): Shea butter,karite butter
CAS Number: 91080-23-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep nourishing emolliency with anti-inflammatory cinnamic acid esters and a uniquely rich unsaponifiable fraction.
Why It's Used: The most nutritious plant butter โ unique cinnamic acid esters, lupeol, and rich unsaponifiable fraction provide anti-inflammatory and wound healing benefits beyond standard fatty acid emolliency.
How It Works: Cinnamic acid esters absorb uv radiation providing mild natural uv filtering (spf 3-4). lupeol inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory activity. high stearic acid provides occlusive barrier function. rich unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%) provides phytosterols, tocopherols, and triterpenes for bioactive skin benefits.

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Shea butter's unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%, vs coconut oil's 0.5% and olive oil's 1-2%) is exceptionally rich in triterpenes, phytosterols, and tocopherols. this fraction is responsible for shea's anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties that simple fatty acid analysis fails to reveal.
