POPPY SEED OIL
Here are the six great reasons to include poppy seed oil in your skin care products, specially products for mature, dry, barrier damaged and sensitive skin:
1. THE LIGHT SKIN FEEL
Poppy seed oil contains almost 40% LLL (tri-linoleic acid) in the triglycerides spectrum. This is why this oil has such a nice silky skin feel despite the considerable concentration of palmitic acid
2. RELATIVELY NEUTRAL COLOUR AND SCENT
So it won’t overpower your emulsion, blam, or oil blend.
3. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF PALMITIC ACID
Which provide the oil with barrier repair properties. Poppy seed oil is an excellent oil for barrier damaged, mature, dry and choppy skin
4. SLOW ABSORPTION
Of the oil (despite the light skin feel) makes the oil a “protective” and “covering” skin care ingredient. It doesn’t immediately disappear
5. UNSAPONIFIABLES
Basically phytosterols add to the protective and barrier repair of the oil.
6. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF LINOLEIC ACID (an omega-6 fatty acid)
Which impart anti-inflammatory properties of the oil. This is an excellent choice for barrier damaged and sensitive skin
