It is no secret that we love oils! Oils moisturize, protect, regulate and balance skin. Oils can brighten and be anti-bacterial. At KAHINA™ we are proud of our highest quality oils, carefully sourced. But perhaps you are wondering which oil is the one for you? An important consideration when choosing an oil is the composition of linoleic and oleic fatty acids. These fatty acids support skin health through the building of healthy cell membranes. Our bodies do not produce these and so they can only be obtained from outside sources. Oleic acid (omega 9) makes oils thicker and richer and therefore oils high in oleic acid are more moisturizing. Linoleic acids (omega 6) result in lighter oils and so are best for oily and acne-prone skin. Both oleic and linoleic acids help protect and maintain skin elasticity, smoothness and radiance. For those with excess oil to those with dry skin and everyone in between, we break down your KAHINA™ options for you here: Argan Oil A multipurpose oil ideal for combination and dry skin The OG of oils, Argan Oil is extremely rich in Vitamin E, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
