Science
Mechanism of Action
This oil functions by providing a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, primarily linoleic and oleic acids, which constitute over 90% of its composition. These fatty acids are crucial for enhancing keratinocyte proliferation and lipid synthesis, thereby fortifying the skin's natural barrier and improving hydration. Its emollient properties soften and smooth the skin, while its anti-seborrheic action helps mitigate symptoms of seborrhea and dandruff, aided by synergistic phytochemicals and tocopherols (Vitamin E).
