Sesame oil is extracted from the seeds of Sesamum indicum, an herbaceous plant from the Pedaliaceae family. These seeds contain 50 to 57% oil. Sesame oil is highly rich in linoleic acid (omega-6). This fatty acid is essential because the human body cannot synthesize it. It is known for the important role it plays in the structure of cell membranes.

Borage (Borago officinalis) is an herbaceous plant from the western Mediterranean region. Its seeds contain 29 to 38% oil. Borage oil is highly rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid.

Shea olein is made by fractionating shea butter, a fat obtained from the fruit of the shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii). This wild tree from the Sapotaceae family can only be found in its natural state in Africa, in the regions of Sudan and the Sahel north of the Equator.

Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of a bush (Simmondsia chinensis) that grows in desert regions. Jojoba seeds contain up to 60% oil. Jojoba oil is a liquid wax made up of esters of saturated and mono-unsaturated, fatty acid and fatty alcohols, unlike vegetable oils which are triglyceride esters. It is also rich in unsaponifiable compounds.

The avocado is the fruit of the avocado tree (Persea gratissima), which comes from the Lauraceae family and originates in Mexico and Guatemala. Avocado pulp contains 5 to 30% of oils. Avocado oil has high levels of palmitoleic acid, which penetrates easily while leaving behind a protective layer, making it ideal for delicate skin. It is also rich in oleic acid, which has emollient properties. This oil makes the skin soft and supple and improves its elasticity.

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual herbaceous plant that originates in Central Asia. Hemp seeds contain 30 to 40% oil. Hemp seed oil is uniquely rich in polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid., which are essential because the human body cannot synthesize them.

The olive tree (Olea europaea), from the Oleaceae family, originates in the Mediterranean region. Olive oil is extracted by pressing the olive, an edible, oleaginous fruit. Olive oil has high levels of oleic acid, which has emollient properties. This oil makes the skin soft, supple, and more radiant. It is used in cosmetics for its moisturizing properties, since its composition is very close to that of the skin’s sebum.
