OZONIZED ARGAN OIL.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

Ozonized Argan Oil is an advanced derivative of argan oil, created by reacting ozone with its unsaturated fatty acids. This process yields ozonides and peroxides, which deliver active oxygen and a multitude of beneficial compounds deep into the skin, enhancing its therapeutic properties.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by delivering active oxygen and anti-aging agents directly into the epidermis via its ozonide and peroxide content. It exhibits potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, effectively targeting acne-causing microbes and preventing infections. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and reduce redness associated with conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Ozonized Argan Oil actively promotes wound healing by stimulating tissue regeneration and enhancing oxygen supply, contributing to new cell and collagen production. Furthermore, it acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing damaging free radicals and supporting the skin's natural defense mechanisms, while also hydrating, nourishing, and strengthening skin elasticity and barrier function.

Stability

Optimal stability is achieved by storing Ozonized Argan Oil at 4°C, where it can remain stable for 2-3 years. It is susceptible to rapid chemical degradation at ambient or elevated temperatures, though refrigeration or freezing can extend its stability to over one year. Low temperatures are also preferred during its ozonation process to enhance ozone solubility.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used (base ingredient)
Sensitization risk Unknown

While the base ingredient, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, was deemed safe by the CIR Expert Panel in 2011, 'Ozonized Argan Oil' itself lacks specific CIR, SCCS, or FDA safety status. Ozonated oils are generally reported to have enhanced safety and minimal skin or mucous membrane irritation. However, individuals with sensitive skin are advised to exercise caution, perform a patch test, and consult a dermatologist due to potential, albeit minor, irritation from pure argan oil.
