Its richness in polyunsaturated acids, in particular oleic acid and linoleic acid, gives it a protective, repairing and healing action. It reinforces the elasticity and suppleness of the skin.

On the nose, this subtle vegetable oil has a light nutty aroma, followed by a green note reminiscent of poppy petals, a very soft and light scent.

This vegetable oil does not contain any alkaloids.
