Why choose organic vegetable oils for the skin?

Vegetable oils: beauty allies with unsuspected virtues

Naturally rich in active ingredients, vegetable oils preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the skin. Having a great affinity with the epidermis, they penetrate the skin tissue in depth and each has a specific action.
Mainly known for moisturising and softening the skin, oils have many other virtues. They help the skin in its protective function by reinforcing the hydrolipidic layer. But they also stabilise the production of sebum in oily skin, provide dry skin with fatty substances and relieve irritation in sensitive skin.

Why choose an organic vegetable oil?

Vegetable oils come from plants, from a fruit, a nut or the seed of a plant rich in lipids and essential fatty acids.

In order to preserve and benefit from the richness of the natural active ingredients they contain, oils must be extracted by cold pressing and be free of any treatment, before or after pressing. This is the healthiest extraction process available, and it respects nature. It offers a more natural colour and scent, and allows us to obtain pure oils of exceptional quality. Finally, choosing organic vegetable oils that are free of chemical preservatives, parabens and other endocrine disruptors is a guarantee of quality, health and environmental protection.

Choosing the right plant oils for your skinau

There are many vegetable oils, each with its own virtues. Therefore, choose them according to your skin problems and priorities. Each skin type, and/or its temporary needs, has its own dedicated oil, even oily skin. Indeed, there are rebalancing oils that act on sebum production and dilated pores. Others help to keep the skin well hydrated. Finally, some fight against skin ageing thanks to their antioxidant power and relieve skin problems.

To make sure you make the right choice, don't hesitate to carry out a skin diagnosis.

How to integrate a vegetable oil into your beauty routine?

These generous oils, with their many benefits, can be used pure on cleansed skin. In the morning, you can apply a few drops of plant oil as a serum or mix it with your day cream to enrich and intensify its nourishing power. Or in the evening, alone, to intensely nourish your skin during the night.
There are also cosmetic products formulated with different plant oils for even more benefits.

In addition, unlike essential oils, they are not contraindicated for pregnant women. However, some of them are photosensitive, so avoid using them before exposure to the sun, such as St John's wort oil.

 

The vegetable oils used in PATYKA formulas

 For a beauty treatment that respects your skin, PATYKA Advanced Research uses virgin vegetable oils, obtained by first cold pressing, which preserves the quality of the active principles present in the oils.

Here is a short review of some of the oils used in our skin care products:

Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is a real ally, with proven effectiveness, since it is the vegetable oil whose structure is closest to that of human sebum: it is therefore better assimilated by the skin. It revitalises and protects the skin, prevents skin dehydration, regulates the flow of sebum and relieves inflammation. By creating a non-greasy film around the skin, it strengthens the hydrolipidic film and stimulates cell regeneration. Thanks to its multiple virtues, Jojoba Oil is suitable for both blemish-prone and dehydrated skin.
