Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The vegetable oils<\/strong> are among the most valuable allies in natural cosmetics. Rich in vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants, they are versatile ingredients that can be used to moisturise, nourish, regenerate and protect skin and hair in a completely natural way. Unlike mineral oils, vegetable oils are biocompatible<\/strong> with the epidermis, do not clog pores and respect the hydrolipid film of the skin.
