Some vegetable oils can clog skin pores and promote blemishes. To determine if an oil is comedogenic, it is advised to refer to its comedogenicity index.

Are vegetable oils suitable for sensitive skin?

Most plant-based oils are suitable for sensitive skin, but some contain allergens and need to be diluted, such as karanja and borage oils, to avoid irritating and sensitising the skin.

How long can a vegetable oil be stored?

This depends on the vegetable oils and their storage conditions. On average, they can be kept between 6 months and 1 year.

Can vegetable oils be used as a makeup remover?

If you wish to gently remove your makeup, it is advisable to use a makeup removal oil. Vegetable oils, which do not contain surfactants, are not easily rinsed off.
