Who should use oleic acid beauty products?

Anyone can use oleic acid-infused beauty products, but mature and dry skin types will certainly benefit the most. They are particularly great for people that suffer from severe dryness or conditions including psoriasis, eczema and rosacea due to the calming and soothing effects that oleic acid provides.

What other ingredients go well with oleic acid?

Oleic acid is usually combined with other natural fatty acids, including stearic acid, lauric acid and palmitic acid, as they work harmoniously to enhance product absorption and the ability to lock in vital moisture.

Which beauty products contain oleic acid?

What are the skin care benefits of oleic Acid beauty products?

Oleic acid is used as a main component of many skin care products due to its emulsifying properties. It provides the formulations with potent hydrating qualities that will enhance the skin's texture and keep it feeling soft and supple.

This highly beneficial oil also supplies healing and reparative properties whilst doubling as an anti-inflammatory ingredient. This helps to soothe, balance and calm troublesome skin conditions like eczema, rosacea and psoriasis.

Oleic acid is also known for anti-aging benefits. It contains a high concentration of antioxidant compounds which help to slow down the process of aging, preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

What Is oleic acid?

Oleic acid is a natural fatty acid that can be consumed in foods to enhance heart and respiratory health. It can also be applied directly to the skin and hair to support healthy hair growth and a radiant complexion.

The term oleic stems from the word oil – and olive oil is one of the most potent forms of oleic acid. Other sources of oleic acid include vegetable, sesame, sunflower, coconut, shea butter and canola oils.

Oleic acid is also known as a surfactant, which is essentially a degreaser for your skin. With one molecule being attracted to water and the other attracted to dirt and grease, it works to cleanse the face and lift grime from the skin before breaking it down and washing it away.
