Very high in essential fatty acids, which support health and the beauty of skin and hair, it is easily absorbed and regulates the ph balance of the skin, which in turn protects against
​
sun exposure and other damage. Since it helps with inflammation, it thus helps control and reverse skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis while also diminishing scars. As a ph regulator, dry skin is nourished and moisturized, it helps protect against infection as well as regulating sebum production to keep the skin’s natural oils at a healthy level. With regular use, the skin will no longer look or feel oily. It protects skin from allergens that may cause itchiness and controls overproduction of acne-causing sebum, soothing the inflammation brought about by acne. It also stimulates the renewal of skin cells and boosts elasticity while smoothing wrinkles and lines. A lot can be said for this amazing oil.
I am very grateful to be able to offer it in my soap.
