What is the difference between body and facial oil?
Which oil is best suited to what?
On the one hand, the skin of the body and face is exposed to different environmental influences and therefore has different needs. On the other hand, we don't want our face to be shiny after our morning care routine.
In principle, all oils can be used for the whole body. However, we differentiate between dry oils (marula oil, raspberry seed oil, rosehip seed oil or wild rose oil), which are absorbed into the skin very quickly without leaving a greasy film, and rich, fatty oils that are absorbed more slowly (such as macadamia nut oil or avovado oil), which can do incredible things for dry, cracked skin.
Our body oils
What is a drying oil?
This is probably the question we are asked most often, because it is actually a contradiction in terms. Dry oil is an invention of the cosmetics industry to describe oils that have a light texture, are non-comedogenic (i.e. do not clog pores), are quickly absorbed and do not leave a greasy film, but still have a broad spectrum of activity. They are mainly used as facial oils.
In contrast, an oil that has a different fatty acid spectrum and is not absorbed so quickly is of course much better suited as a massage oil.
So once again, not all oils are the same. We use marula oil, rosehip seed oil and wild rose oil for our facial oils. Drop by drop, they can be wonderfully supplemented with passion fruit seed oil, raspberry seed oil and hemp oil for evening care, for example.
