Oleic Acid

Description

Oleic Acid is a fatty acid that naturally occurs in plant oils (especially in olive, avocado, and almond) and animal fats. It is added to cosmetics for its powerful softening, moisturizing, and penetrating properties. It helps deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin and also makes the texture of products soft and light. This component is particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin, but in its pure form or in high concentrations, it can cause irritation for people with oily or sensitive skin.
