Vegetable oils in natural cosmetics

In natural cosmetics, each ingredient tells a story—and few tell stories as rich in benefits as vegetable oils! Extracted mainly from plant seeds, these treasures of nature help nourish and protect the skin and hair, while adding sensory value and authenticity to each formula. Therefore, in a market where consumers seek real results, transparency, and environmental commitment, vegetable oils can be the solution to add a complete, sustainable, and memorable experience to your beauty products.

 

What are vegetable oils?

Vegetable oils are natural extracts obtained mainly by cold pressing (or mechanical pressing) seeds, fruits, or parts of oil-bearing plants. Do you know the advantages of this method? That's right! It preserves essential nutrients, fatty acids, and vitamins, ensuring high-quality vegetable oils for natural cosmetics—from hydration to antioxidant protection! That's why for brands that (like yours) want to invest in clean, effective, and sustainable formulas, vegetable oils are a fundamental pillar in the creation of innovative and distinctive natural cosmetic products. 

At Scents from Nature, we use mechanical pressing to extract and produce pure vegetable oils naturally, without damaging them and preserving the natural properties and benefits for which they are renowned.

How to choose the best vegetable oils for your products?

Choosing the right vegetable oils is a decisive step in ensuring that your natural cosmetics portfolio stands out in the market. In this process, you should consider consumer trends and preferences, but also evaluate the technical and sensory characteristics that will influence the performance of the final product. Therefore, when selecting vegetable oils for natural cosmetics, it is important to take the following into account:

Skin/hair type for which the product is intended

Keep in mind that lighter vegetable oils are ideal for oily skin, while more nourishing and dense vegetable oils are recommended for intensive care of dry skin or damaged hair.

Sensory profile

Evaluate the application method, absorption speed, and natural fragrance of vegetable oils because these sensations contribute to the consumer experience.

Stability and shelf life

Choose vegetable oils that are more resistant to oxidation, as these help to prolong the product's shelf life and maintain its effectiveness over time.

Certifications and sustainable origin

Opt for certified vegetable oils, which are increasingly sought after by consumers who value ethical practices and environmentally friendly production techniques.

Extraction method

Choose cold-pressed vegetable oils, as this method preserves their nutritional, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties to the maximum.

Compatibility with other raw materials

Ensure that vegetable oils interact well with the other components of your formulas, maintaining the stability and homogeneity of the final product.
