We tell you everything about their origins, uses and benefits!

What is a vegetable oil, this treasure for all skin types?

THE organic vegetable oils are widely used in organic cosmetics. They come from seeds, pips, oilseeds or plants, which have many virtues that help protect, nourish, regulate and regenerate cell tissues: antioxidant properties, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids (omega 3-6-7-9).

At the house of Land of the Seas We have therefore chosen to introduce them into most of our cosmetics in order to give them the place of queen they deserve.

Used for thousands of years, they are used in cooking, medicine, and natural cosmetics. Unlike traditional cosmetics, where they have been replaced primarily by silicones and mineral oils, which are much less expensive but also lack all the benefits of vegetable oils.

Methods of extracting vegetable oils

They must be impeccable to ensure high quality, retain their nutrients, and protect the body from any toxicity in order to offer a multitude of natural benefits to the body and hair. For this, there are two extraction methods:

Mechanical extraction : the most precious, because it is precisely this method that allows us to obtain first cold-pressed oils without any additives. The oil is then pure and could not be more natural. This is the guarantee of keeping all their benefits and active ingredients intact.

Chemical extraction : it presses the same fruits and seeds but with a high temperature rise and the addition of various solvents and additives. The resulting oils are, however, of lower quality.

We advise you to always turn to vegetable oils known as "virgin" and "first cold-pressed" and preferably from organic farming.

Beyond dry or oily skin, vegetable oils are suitable for all skin types if chosen carefully. Each type has its own density, thickness, texture, richness, and, above all, its own composition.Prickly pear oil, for example, is very rich in antioxidants, making it a good choice for mature skin.

How to use vegetable oils?

For your body, massage your chest, arms, stomach, and thighs area by area using circular motions. This will leave your skin glowing, silky, and firm.

For the face, apply the oil or treatment with smoothing movements, starting from the center of the face and working outward. This will make the skin even more supple and elastic.

For hair, apply the product directly by massaging it into your hair (don't forget the scalp). Then wrap it in a towel and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes to nourish and make it shinier.

Finally, last tip and not least, there is a very specific way to apply your vegetable oil. A vegetable oil should be applied to damp skin. This way it will penetrate much more easily and thus be much more active!

Finally, since vegetable oils are fragile, choose hygienic packaging and use them within 6 months of opening.
