Information
Our Zea Mays (Corn) Oil is a non-GMO, organic plant 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, or maize, which is a staple crop grown in many parts of the world. The oil is extracted through processes to ensure 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. Per EU regulation, GMO crops are banned from cultivation in Germany.
Moisturizing: Corn oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, which can 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 radicals, minimizing the signs of maturing skin and environmental factors.
Skin Barrier Support: The fatty acids in corn oil can reinforce the skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture and protecting skin from external irritants.
Soothing: Corn oil has soothing properties that can 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, contributing to the overall appearance of the skin.
