Oleic acid comes from the Latin oleum and means oil. This lipid is part of the omega-9 family. It is the most abundant of the long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids in our body. Very nourishing for the skin, it makes it more supple and softer but also more radiant.

Other active constituents :

• Sterols: healing and repairing action. They also reduce inflammation.
• Unsaponifiables (2 to 10%) of which:
  • Tocopherols (vitamin E) and tocotrienols: natural antioxidants.
  • Carotenoids (including beta-carotene): responsible for color, antioxidant, photoprotective action, and the healthy appearance of the skin.
  • Phytosterols (including beta-sitosterol): improve the barrier function of the skin and microcirculation, slow down skin aging. They have anti-inflammatory activity and protect against the action of UV.
