Arachis Hypogaea Oil, or peanut oil, is a skin conditioning ingredient containing oleic acid, linoleic acid, saturated fatty acids, and vitamin E. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin from harmful UV rays and pollution that stress out the skin and cause premature aging. This oil promotes skin regeneration and maintains firmness, resulting in youthful and radiant skin. Its hydrating formula keeps the skin soft and supple. In its raw form, Arachis Hypogaea Oil appears as a pale-yellow liquid suitable for oil-based products. Its silky texture enriches formulations such as moisturizers, body lotions, lip balms, hair conditioners, and even baby products.

HAIR CONDITIONINGSafety Profile
Arachis Hypogaea Oil is a natural and safe ingredient. It is even harmless for individuals with peanut allergies as the refining process removes allergenic proteins. However, cold-pressed (or unrefined) oil may retain allergens and should be avoided by individuals allergic to peanuts. Peanut Oil is best for dry to very dry skin and may be too heavy for acne-prone skin. Patch testing is necessary prior to full application.
