Your skin should have a natural glow

If you enjoy being nourished by nature, then plant-derived oils are for you the essence that comes directly from nature and have a real affinity for your skin. Like proteins and vegetables, oils are an integral part of your skin .

Our skin has a natural protective barrier function with a combination of lipids (oils) and water below the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin free from environmental pollutants. These lipids occur naturally, but over-cleansing and using harsh ingredients can throw your skin out of balance, leaving it unprotected. This is why we usually include oil-based treatments in our skin care routine.

The oils extracted from plants are the natural essence of nature. Different oils bring different nutrients to your skin, including:

Antibacterial: Some vegetable oils can be used topically to help heal open wounds and fight infection. A good example of an oil with antibacterial and antifungal properties is fennel leaf, commonly referred to as begonia oil. This oil has excellent skin-healing properties as it has powerful antiseptic properties that help fight infections.

Antioxidants: There are many vegetable oils that are rich in antioxidant properties. Avocado oil, for example, has many antioxidant properties and is rich in vitamin E, which helps protect your skin from free radical damage, one of the causes of premature aging.

Anti-inflammatory: Many vegetable oils naturally soothe and calm inflammation. Such as calendula oil is our daily favorite simply because of its wonderful anti-inflammatory properties.

balance: Whether you have dry, combination or oily skin, some vegetable oils help to rebalance our natural lipids and normalize skin conditions. Like jojoba oil, it can be used to treat dry skin conditions like psoriasis or dermatitis, as well as oil-control treatments for breakouts and oily scalps.

Magical Power: Fortunately, while nature provides us with these lovely botanicals, they also provide excellent moisturizing and skin softening properties. If your skin is constantly feeling dry or dehydrated, plant-derived ceramides are extremely moisturizing and help replenish much-needed moisture. As another example, the cold-pressed oil of rosehip seeds contains about 30% gamma-linoleic acid. The role of this fatty acid is to form a protective barrier that prevents moisture from escaping from the skin tissue. It also provides us with an excellent moisturizing effect.

Another example is argan oil, which helps regenerate cells; this rare and precious oil is extremely restorative and can soothe troublesome skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. And laboratory studies at MOOMNA have shown that some vegetable oils penetrate very slowly into the stratum corneum (the outer layer of our skin) due to their large molecular structure. The benefit of this is that the oil stays on our skin longer, works its magic more easily, and creates an invisible protective barrier on the skin that helps protect the acidic epidermal environment.

Sun protection factor: Some oils provide natural sun protection. Such as red raspberry seed oil provides us with all-round protection against UVA and UVB rays. The MOOMNA research team has also discovered other oils that provide natural protection from the sun’s damaging rays. Such as hemp seed oil, macadamia nut oil, sesame seed oil, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, coconut oil, raspberry seed oil.

Our oil-based formula bath oil is one of our most popular products: Shower Oil contains soothing botanical ingredients that cleanse while protecting your skin, helping it to restore its health.
