Peach oil has been used for a very long time for cosmetic purposes, it helps the epidermis to recover, moisturizes it, and nourishes it with important elements. After applying peach oil, the skin becomes soft, velvety, radiant with health and freshness.
Features of the composition
Peach oil is made from peach kernels, the oil extract is separated from the dry residue, which is used to create it. Better oil is one that is not diluted, therefore it is very important that only Peach Kemel Oil is indicated in the composition. The product has a very rich composition: peach is a real storehouse of vitamins and its oil is no exception. DThe following elements are especially important for leather.
- Vitamin A performs almost the main function that our skin usually lacks so much: it accelerates regeneration. Due to this, acne, post-acne, peeling, irritation pass faster and less painful.
- B vitamins. Peach oil contains a huge amount of B vitamins: from B1 to B12. These are some of the most important ingredients for the skin.
- Vitamin E, beauty vitamin. It is responsible for saturating our skin with moisture, retaining this moisture and nourishing the dermis in the deep layers.
- Vitamin C or ascorbic acid. Has a pronounced whitening effect, is used to rejuvenate and strengthen the skin, giving it freshness and tone.
- Vitamin P, otherwise known as rutin. Rutin in tandem with ascorbic acid makes blood vessels and capillaries less permeable, strengthens them.
The consistency of peach oil is light, it is not comedogenic, which allows it to be used even for problematic and oily skin with deep pores.
