Organic plum botanical oil is a key ingredient in cosmetic care products. La Reine Capricieuse. What does it bring to a cream, a serum or a treatment that contains it? What are its virtues for health, facial beauty and hair vitality? Whyplum oil, known and cultivated in France and the rest of the world, has it become an essential component of natural cosmetic products? La Reine Capricieuse gives you his opinion on the subject and reveals the reasons for his success.
Botanical oil with multiple cosmetic benefits, it protects and hydrates your skin
Like many vegetable oils, the process for obtaining organic botanical plum oil is cold-pressed. It is made from the fruit harvest. Between August and September, the Ente de France plums (or Prunus Domestica), also cultivated to produce Agen prunes, ripen and are ready to be harvested. The first step is to isolate, dry, and hull the plum pits to extract the small internal almonds (the almonds). It is in the almonds that all the therapeutic and beauty properties of the fruit are concentrated. Then, mechanical pressure is used to recover the plum oil in its raw state. This is the final step: the vegetable oil must be purified, through filtration and decantation, to obtain a rich, high-quality natural finished product. This extraction method allows for the preservation of all the active ingredients and natural benefits of the kernels, as it does not require any chemical reactions or the introduction of synthetic products. The resulting plum oil is 100% natural and 100% pure.
It would be wrong to believe that theplum oil owes its fame cosmetic to the exceptional fragrance it gives off. Firstly because, contrary to what one might think, cold pressing the kernel produces a botanical oil with a very particular odor, which is far removed from that of the fruit of the same name: its fragrance is that of a unique blend, with fruity aromas of nuts and almonds, even bordering on frangipane. It is for this reason that one can choose plum botanical oil to flavor and enhance dishes, both savory and sweet, it being ingestible in small quantities without being harmful to health.
In addition, the benefits of plum oil extend well beyond its fragrance. Its composition of fatty acids gives it many properties, making it a definite ally for the health of our skin. The high content of oleic and linoleic fatty acids in this botanical oil – that is to say respectively in omega 9, which composes it from 60 to 80 %, in omega 6, which it contains between 15 to 25 % and its 5% of palmitic acid – allows it to have a nourishing action. By strengthening the cell membranes, it deeply nourishes the epidermis of the skin and helps fight against redness or small imperfections of dry skin.
It is mainly found in cosmetic products targeting the facial skin (anti-aging cream or serum), but it also constitutes the main ingredient of certain formulas of body moisturizersTo combat areas of localized dryness of the skin, it can be applied easily to different parts of the body (elbows, heels, knees).
The omega 9 it contains thanks to oleic fatty acid also allows it not to shock our skin with external contributions that would be foreign to it: its omegas are naturally present in human sebum and thus the action of plum oil consists of strengthening the skin's already present hydrolipidic film. Its softening effect is visible after a few regular applications on the face. The skin is supple, softer and less dry or irritated.
If its nourishing effect is proven for the dry or irritated skin, it is also valid for the health of the hair. When they appear dull, dry, weakened or even brittle, plum botanical oil helps revitalize the hair, from the roots to the scalp to the ends. Can be applied as a mask before your shampoo, as a balm or conditioner, its rich content of oleic and linoleic fatty acids nourishes the hair for a long time. A few uses are enough to make its action visible on its suppleness and shine.
