As conscientious consumers, we are concerned about the ingredients that we put on our skin, hair and body in our beauty products. More and more manufacturers are branding their products as natural or organic. The easiest way to confirm this is to read the label. The beauty products should not contain any preservatives or animal products. They will, however, contain oils. These should be vegetable extracts and the best products will have them blended with purified water.
Each oil is good for a different type of product. Here are the five most popular oils used in beauty products and their benefits:
Apricot Kernel Oil:
Taken from the large central pits of apricots. This oil is only lightly scented which makes it a wonderful ingredient for scented skin preparations. Closely matching the consistency and weight of natural skin oils, apricot kernel oil will soak readily into your skin and nourish it.
Coconut Oil:
Popular in Hawaii and tropical locations, coconut oil has been used in skin care products for many years. At room temperature, this oil is actually a solid white substance. However, it liquefies very quickly when placed in your hand. Coconut oil is very nourishing and soothing, especially to sunburned or wind burned skin.
Jojoba Oil:
This oil or gel material comes from the juice of the jojoba plant. It nourishes the skin by itself, but it also popular to mix with other oils in all natural bath and beauty products. Be sure to purchase only the natural jojoba oil.
Sweet Almond Oil:
One of the most popular oils used in all natural bath and beauty products, sweet almond oil is lightly scented. This is helpful for making products infused with flower or herb scents for aromatherapy purposes. Sweet almond oil softens the skin.
Vitamin E Oil:
This type of natural oil is actually vitamin E included with a carrier oil of some sort. However, because of vitamin E's positive healing properties, it has become one of the most popular oils used in natural bath and beauty products. Vitamin E oil moisturizes skin and nourishes it with little odor. It is actually used in preparations used in hospitals to help burn victims. Is also known to help heal surgical scars.
