    Description

    This body oil not only moisturizes, nourishes, and protects the skin from free radical damage, but also, due to the shimmering mineral particles in its composition, gives your skin what it needs - luxurious shine and confidence in your skin. Rich and uniquely modern in its floral and musk fragrance, it creates a sense of luxury and exclusivity, while the formula is enriched with effective active ingredients and oils. Squalane is an occlusive molecule that strengthens the skin's barrier function and helps the skin maintain its moisture level (hydration) [1]. Tocopheryl acetate is an oil-soluble antioxidant that helps reduce skin irritation, decreases the formation of free radicals and the damage they cause, and slows down the aging process of the skin [2]. Bisabolol has pronounced anti-inflammatory, soothing, and skin-strengthening properties [3]. Argan oil nourishes the skin and has antioxidant properties, as well as being rich in vitamin E and fatty acids [4]. Almond oil has a calming effect and gives the skin a sense of softness [5], while cucumber seed oil provides a softness to the skin [6].

    Benefits:

    • Provides luxurious shine to the skin;
    • Helps maintain proper moisture level in body skin;
    • Gives skin softness and smoothness;
    • Helps fight damage caused by free radicals;
    • Suitable for all skin types.

    Scientific validity

    Vitamin E inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase and melanogenesis in melanocytes, making it a strong antioxidant. This ingredient inhibits the lipid peroxidation of melanocyte membranes and increases intracellular glutathione levels [2]. Therefore, vitamin E is suitable for use in cases of pigmentation. Squalane is an occlusive molecule that strengthens the skin's barrier function and helps the skin maintain its moisture level (hydration) by regulating sebum secretion, and human sebum contains as much as 13% squalene [7]. In vitro experimental studies show that squalane is a highly effective agent for neutralizing reactive oxygen species. After oxidative stress, such as exposure to sunlight, squalane acts as an effective oxygen "trap," preventing lipid peroxidation on the human skin surface [8]. Therefore, squalane is effective in reducing skin irritation caused by lipid peroxidation.

    Argan oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid. This helps protect the skin from moisture loss and strengthens skin elasticity. Additionally, it is said to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it frequently used for flaky, dry, irritation-prone skin. Moreover, argan oil is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E [4].

    Almond oil is a fatty vegetable oil obtained from almond seeds through cold pressing. The highest proportion of fatty acids consists of oleic acid (60–90%) and linoleic acid (about 20%). This oil has a calming effect and gives the skin softness [5].
