Why is camellia oil more suitable for baby skin care than olive oil?

Everyone can't live without oil, especially vegetable oil, which is extracted from the fruits, seeds and germs of natural plants. According to the different properties of oil plants, they can be divided into two categories: herb oil and woody plant oil. Peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil that we usually eat are all herbal oils. Woody plant oil is a perennial plant with high oil content in seeds. Camellia oil, olive oil, palm oil and coconut oil are also called the four major woody plant oils.

Olive oil and camellia oil are the most commonly used skin care products here. However, olive oil has a certain market influence because of its wide planting area, high yield and relatively low cost. Tea seed oil is only produced at a specific altitude and climate of 23~30 degrees north latitude, with less output and much higher price.

But when we find that many skin care products on the market use olive oil to protect the baby's skin, it is time to analyze the reason that tea seed oil is better than olive oil.

Is olive oil really that good?

In 2008, the magazine Children's Dermatology showed whether olive oil was as "particularly effective" as the legend.

20 13 the purpose of the re-study of children's dermatology is to compare the effects of olive oil and sunflower seed oil on the skin. The results show that olive oil will destroy the barrier function of skin, so it is not suitable for dry skin and baby massage.

Examination content in 2008: To study the skin treatment of premature infants. In the experiment, 173 premature babies were randomly divided into three groups. One group used special ointment on the market, the other group used emulsion made of 30% olive oil and 70% lanolin, and the other group did not use drugs as control. At the beginning of the experiment, 2? Within 4 weeks, the skin condition of these infants was scored by the evaluator without knowing which group they belonged to. As a result, the skin condition of infants who used olive oil emulsion was the best, while that of the control group was the worst.

20 13: 19 adult volunteers with normal skin condition were divided into two groups: the first group applied olive oil to the forearm of one arm twice a day (6 drops each time), and the other group did not treat it for 5 weeks; The second group also applied 6 drops of olive oil to one forearm twice a day, while the other group applied 6 drops of sunflower oil for 4 weeks. Finally, the skin condition is evaluated by measuring the integrity and cohesion of stratum corneum, moisture retention, pH value of skin surface and erythema. The results showed that the application of olive oil reduced the integrity of stratum corneum, resulting in mild erythema, while sunflower seed oil kept the integrity of stratum corneum and did not cause erythema.

Is tea seed oil really so much better than olive oil?

Compared with the skin care effect of olive oil, the molecular structure of camellia oil is smaller, so it can be effectively absorbed and the effect is naturally better.

On the other hand, tea seed oil contains more trace elements such as squalene and camellia glycoside than olive oil, which are often extracted separately for high-end skin care products. Therefore, if pregnant mothers and treasure mothers use camellia oil for a long time, they can prevent skin damage and aging and make skin shiny and beautiful. Of course, it can also help make up and remove makeup, as well as treat acne and acne and remove stretch marks.

As for why camellia oil has an effect on red buttocks and eczema that babies often need to face in skin care, it is because camellia oil has a good inhibitory effect on common microorganisms, and its bacteriostatic ability is almost unaffected by pH value, and its thermal stability is high, which can effectively prevent skin infections. The tea saponin contained in it has anti-permeability, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Camellia oil also contains vitamin E and antioxidant components, which can provide nutrients needed by human skin, enhance the antioxidant effect of cells and help to repair rotten noodles.
