Fast-absorbing, nutrient-dense oils rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins
Plant-Based Oils
in Dermatology
A comprehensive review in ACS Omega underscores the efficacy of plant-based oils like coconut, olive, argan, and jojoba in hydrating and moisturizing the skin, thanks to their rich content of natural emollients and essential fatty acids.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
of Natural Oils
Research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of topical application of certain plant oils, emphasizing their role in maintaining skin health.
Botanical Oils
for Skin Barrier Repair
A study in Frontiers in Pharmacology discusses the utility of botanical oils in maintaining and repairing the skin’s natural barrier function, contributing to overall skin health and resilience.
Luxury plant oils are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that work synergistically to nourish and protect the skin. Essential fatty acids like linoleic and oleic acid are integral to maintaining the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss, and enhancing elasticity.
Antioxidants, found in Plant Oils, such as vitamin E neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and signs of aging. Additionally, vitamins A and D support skin cell regeneration and repair, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.
Luxury Plant Oils in Árija Skincare formulations
Luxury plant oils aren’t just an indulgence—they’re multi-functional skincare power agents rooted in centuries of use and supported by modern science. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, and E, and antioxidants like tocopherols and polyphenols, these oils go beyond hydration. They restore the skin barrier, improve elasticity, calm inflammation, and leave skin visibly nourished and resilient.
Each oil in Árija Skincare formulations is carefully chosen to serve a function, not just a feeling.
Argan Oil
Derived from the kernels of the argan tree native to Morocco, Argan Oil is renowned for its high content of omega fatty acids and vitamin E. These components enhance skin elasticity, smooth fine lines, and provide deep hydration without a greasy feel. Its antioxidant properties also protect the skin from environmental stressors.
High concentrations of linoleic and oleic acids help restore the skin’s lipid barrier, while tocopherols (vitamin E compounds) neutralize free radicals and reduce signs of aging. Its triterpenoids have been shown to support wound healing and reduce inflammation at the cellular level.

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer that balances oil production. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, it soothes and protects the skin, promoting a supple and hydrated complexion. Its unique structure—liquid wax esters—allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin and regulate trans-epidermal water loss. It also contains long-chain fatty alcohols and fatty acids with proven anti-inflammatory properties, helping calm redness and irritation.

Sweet Almond Oil
Lightweight and easily absorbed, Sweet Almond Oil is packed with vitamin E, fatty acids, and proteins. It softens the skin, enhances its glow, and provides gentle nourishment suitable for all skin types.
It contains oleic and linoleic acids that support skin repair and softness, while its high vitamin E content improves skin barrier function and reduces oxidative stress. Research also shows its emollient properties can reduce itching and inflammation.
Found in: Vitamin C Serum
Avocado Oil
Extracted from the pulp of avocados, this oil is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, as well as monounsaturated fats. It deeply moisturizes, supports the skin’s natural barrier, and promotes collagen synthesis, aiding in skin repair and elasticity.
It contains phytosterols that reduce inflammation and boost skin regeneration. The presence of palmitoleic acid (a rare omega-7 fatty acid) also helps improve suppleness and strengthen aging or thinning skin.
Found in: Gentle Cleansing Milk, Vitamin C Serum
Olive Oil
A staple of Mediterranean skincare, Olive Oil is abundant in squalene and antioxidants. It restores the skin’s natural glow, provides deep hydration, and its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin.
Its unsaponifiable content (especially squalene and polyphenols) contributes to antioxidant protection, while oleic acid enhances skin permeability and absorption of actives. It also supports wound healing and improves skin barrier integrity.
Found in: Nourishing Rich Cream, Ceramide Hydrating Night Cream
Evening Primrose Oil
Known for its high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content, Evening Primrose Oil calms irritation, strengthens the skin’s barrier, and supports elasticity. It’s particularly beneficial for dry or mature skin types.
GLA is a rare omega-6 fatty acid that helps regulate prostaglandin production, which in turn reduces inflammation and promotes skin healing. Studies suggest it improves skin roughness, water loss, and overall function in compromised skin.
Found in: Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum
Rice Bran Oil
A hidden gem in skincare, Rice Bran Oil is rich in ferulic acid and oryzanol. It nourishes the skin, brightens the complexion, and provides antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors.
Ferulic acid helps stabilize other antioxidants (like vitamins C and E), while oryzanol is known to protect against UV damage and reduce melanin production. This oil also contains squalene, which improves skin hydration and elasticity.

Hemp Seed Oil
With a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, Hemp Seed Oil regulates oil production, soothes inflammation, and is ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Its lightweight texture ensures quick absorption without clogging pores. It’s rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid, both of which have anti-inflammatory effects and help rebuild the skin’s lipid layers. It also exhibits comedolytic activity, making it suitable for oily and breakout-prone skin.

Raspberry Seed Oil
This lightweight oil offers natural SPF properties and is rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols. It provides impressive protection against free radicals and helps maintain skin elasticity.
It contains ellagic acid, which supports UV protection and collagen preservation, while its balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids helps soothe inflammation and reduce trans-epidermal water loss.

Blueberry Seed Oil
Non-greasy and fast-absorbing, Blueberry Seed Oil is a powerful antioxidant. It defends against free radicals, supports skin barrier function, and promotes a youthful, radiant complexion.
Its high content of alpha-linolenic acid and tocopherols makes it ideal for improving skin elasticity and hydration. The oil also contains anthocyanins, which have been shown to reduce oxidative damage and improve overall skin resilience.
