PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL UNSAPONIFIABLES

Description

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil Unsaponifiables, derived from sweet almond oil, represent a highly refined and potent extract of the non-saponifiable portion of the oil. This ingredient is prized in skincare formulations for its exceptional emollient and skin-conditioning properties. The unsaponifiable fraction is rich in phytosterols, tocopherols, and other bioactive compounds that contribute to its efficacy.

This ingredient exhibits excellent skin penetration and absorption, allowing it to deliver its benefits to deeper layers of the epidermis. It is particularly effective in improving skin barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss, and enhancing skin elasticity. The high concentration of antioxidants helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil Unsaponifiables are well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. They are often incorporated into anti-aging formulations, moisturizers, and products designed to soothe and nourish dry, compromised skin. The ingredient's ability to improve skin texture and suppleness makes it valuable in addressing signs of aging and skin roughness. Its non-comedogenic nature also makes it suitable for use in facial care products.
