The importance of plant oils for our diet has become widely recognized. It is also well known that they should be natural, gently processed, and preferably sourced from organic farming to unleash their health-promoting effects. However, some experts still question whether oils like olive and coconut oil can also serve as valuable aids for skincare and even be used in personal care. Yet, a wealth of research today speaks for itself. Recent scientific findings have demonstrated that the components of plant oils are beneficial for our largest organ: the skin. Not only have fat molecules been known to the skin from an evolutionary perspective for millions of years, but it can also metabolize them exceptionally well.
