Information
Zea Mays (Corn) Oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize) kernels. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, corn oil is a nourishing ingredient commonly used in skincare products for its moisturizing and protective properties. It is especially valued for its ability to improve skin texture and support the skin's natural barrier function.
Where does it come from?
Corn oil is obtained from the germ of Zea mays, commonly known as corn or maize, which is a staple crop widely grown in many parts of the world, particularly in North and South America. The oil is extracted through processes such as cold pressing or solvent extraction, ensuring that the beneficial nutrients are preserved. The resulting oil is light in texture and has a pale yellow color, making it suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic and skincare formulations.
Moisturizing: Corn oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, which help to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin, keeping it soft and supple.
Antioxidant Protection: It contains vitamin E and other antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage, reducing signs of aging and environmental stress.
Skin Barrier Support: The fatty acids in corn oil help to reinforce the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants.
Soothing and Anti-inflammatory: Corn oil has soothing properties that can help calm irritated or inflamed skin, making it beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of corn oil can lead to smoother, more even skin texture, enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.
