Use of natural oils as bioactive ingredients of cosmetic products

Abstract

Oils components embedded in the lipid structure of the horny layer of the epidermis, changing the properties of the epidermal barrier. The most important characteristic of fatty vegetable oils that determines the properties of cosmetic ingredient content is the esters of fatty acids.The mixes of oils (coconut, palm, almond, grape seed, olive, corn, sesame, wheat germ), which fatty acid composition imitated the structure of cell membranes were done by empirical method. It was made for creating cosmetic fat phase composition. Detection of fatty acids were carried out on the gas chromatograph production Hewlett-Packard NR6890 by conventional method.
