Key Ingredients
Ingredients Details
Almond Oil
Common Name(s): Almond oil,botanical carrier oil,emollient fatty acid delivery
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Softens and conditions skin by integrating into sc lipid bilayers, delivers essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) for barrier lipid synthesis, and provides rich, non-stripping moisturisation.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide the closest compositional match to endogenous sc lipids, delivering emolliency through genuine barrier integration rather than simple surface occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides partition into sc lipid bilayers — oleic acid (c18:1) provides fluid, emollient integration; linoleic acid (c18:2) acts as essential ceramide precursor; saturated fatty acids provide more occlusive barrier reinforcement.
Typically Found In: Moisturisers,facial oils,natural skin care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – emollient
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening

Facial Skincare

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Essential fatty acids — linoleic (c18:2, n-6) and α-linolenic (c18:3, n-3) acids — cannot be synthesised by the body; topical delivery through carrier oils provides direct substrate for ceramide and eicosanoid biosynthesis in the epidermis.

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 – 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.
Typically Found In: Premium facial oils,hair oils,anti-aging products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – emollient
Secondary Functions: Squalene content,phytosterol activity,anti-aging

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
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 – replenishing both essential fatty acids and age-depleting skin lipids simultaneously.
