COSMETIC PROPERTIES OF VITA OIL

  • Restoring Activity of the Skin’s Barrier Function

    Vita Oil is highly valued in cosmetics due to its high content of fatty acids and vitamins A, D, and E. These components provide deep nourishment, soften the epidermis, and reduce skin desquamation, thereby restoring the skin's barrier function.

  • Antioxidant Activity

    Tocopherols in Vita Oil are highly effective antioxidant agents. They protect the lipids in cell membranes and organelles against oxidation. α-tocopherol, or vitamin E, is the tocopherol type with the greatest biological activity in the body and is particularly important for skin health.

  • Hair Conditioning Activity

    The vitamin A, E, and D content, along with natural oils in Vita Oil, makes it an excellent conditioner for all hair types. It has a powerful nourishing effect, especially suitable for repairing long hair with dryness issues.

  • Anti-Hair Loss Activity

    Essential fatty acids in Vita Oil influence hair metabolism. A deficiency in essential fatty acids can lead to skin issues like scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and hair depigmentation.
