Oil Selection Rules for Different Skin Types

Mr. Eric suggests that you can start by choosing the main ingredients of the base oil.

• For oily skin, oils with high linoleic acid content are preferred. Linoleic acid is a small molecule that is easy to absorb and helps oily skin regulate sebaceous gland secretion, fights oxidation, and prevents water vaporization. It can help to regulate sebaceous secretion, antioxidant, and prevent moisture vaporization of oily skin. It is suitable for oily skin.
  

• Combination skin: oils with high linoleic acid content are the mainstay. Can give the skin just the right amount of oil needed, such as jojoba oil, argan oil.
  

• Sensitive skin: oils that are high in linoleic acid and rich in antioxidants. They can nourish the skin and help repair the skin, such as rosehip oil, borage oil, sea buckthorn oil and moringa seed oil.
  

• Dry Skin: Fats and oils with high oleic acid content are preferred. Sunflower seed oil, olive oil, or vitamin-rich avocado oil can highly moisturize and repair the skin.
