Vegetable oil in cosmetic

From the fruit and the seed of the plants we can obtain a lot of vegetable oil (by squeezing or by solvents). All vegetable oils, with the exception of the jojoba, are 95% of triglycerides, the remainder is the fraction of soapy. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids makes oil in liquid state, otherwise semisolid, known like butter. Vegetable oils are widely used in cosmetic (oil-rich in acid y-linoleic) like borage oil, rapunzia, blackcurrant and cherry.

Olive oil (olea europaea) is used in cosmetic, thanks to the emollient and protective substances:it is a complex compound made of fatty acids, vitamins, volatile components, water soluble components and microscopic bits of olive. Primary fatty acids are Oleic and linoleic acid with a small amount of linolenic acid.
Argan oil in cosmetics: contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic 34% -linoleico 0.1% and oleic 4%), while among the saturated are palmatic 13% and stearic 5%. It is rich in y-tocoferolo, flavonoids, carotenoids and xanthophylls. The oil comes from the southwest of Morocco; thanks to the rapid absorption without leaving unctuousity, Argan is a raw material for the development of cosmetic preparations.
