Care oil in skincare

This nourishing oil is a concentrated lipid product that provides the skin with intensive nutrients, strengthens its protective barrier, and leaves it feeling supple. It contains natural fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that protect the skin from moisture loss and help it become more resistant to external influences.

Effects & Benefits

High-quality skincare oils not only supply the skin with lipids but also with nourishing micronutrients. They support elasticity, soothe dry and irritated skin, and reduce moisture evaporation. Skincare oils are a particularly beneficial option for stressed, damaged, or mature skin.

  • Strengthening the natural skin barrier through essential fatty acids
  • Long-term suppleness through the supply of lipid-containing components
  • Soothing and care for dry or sensitive skin areas :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Supporting regeneration after environmental stress or strain :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Different types of oil

Plant oils differ in their composition and absorption properties: Dry oils (e.g., squalane or jojoba oil) are absorbed quickly, while richer oils (e.g., avocado or argan oil) provide particularly intensive care. The choice should be tailored to the skin type and its needs.

Application in routine care

Ideally, apply nourishing oils to slightly damp skin so that they lock in the previously applied moisture and don't displace it. A few drops are sufficient – ​​the oil can be used in the morning or evening **after moisturizing**, but also specifically as a night treatment. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
