The Science

“Plant oil application may act as a protective barrier to the skin by an occlusive effect, allowing the skin to retain moisture, resulting in decreased transepidermal water loss values. Additionally, topical products have the benefit of higher bioavailability in the skin and having a localized effect rather than systemic effects.”  (Lin, et al. 2017)

“Sunflower seed oil has been shown to preserve [stratum corneum, outermost layer of skin] integrity and improve hydration of the adult skin without inducing erythema [redness].” (Lin, et al. 2017)

Sweet Almond oil has been shown to reduce itching associated with and progression of stretch marks/scarring, as well as preventing structural damage caused by UV exposure.  (Lin, et al. 2017)

“Oat in colloidal form is a centuries-old topical treatment for a variety of skin conditions, including skin rashes, erythema, burns, itch, and eczema.” (Lin, et al. 2017)

“Pomegranate seed oil is well known for its high concentration of polyphenolic compounds [known for anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and skin barrier repair properties] and for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.” (Lin, et al. 2017)
