Botanica Gaia Bio Cucumber Carrier Oil | Cucumis Sativus | For Skincare and Haircare

Cucumber seed oil is obtained by cold-pressing the dried seeds of the fruit. It is a light, quickly absorbed oil with a pale yellow to golden hue. Its texture is neither greasy nor heavy, making it a very versatile oil for facial and body cosmetic formulas.

-Balancing and sebum-regulating: 

Its high linoleic acid content (55–65%) helps restore the skin's lipid balance.
It is especially useful for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, as it prevents pore blockage and promotes natural sebum regulation.

-Regenerating and soothing: 

Rich in phytosterols and tocopherols (vitamin E), which help reduce inflammation and soothe irritation.
Contributes to cell regeneration, which promotes the repair of damaged, sensitive, or sun-exposed skin.

-Antioxidant and anti-aging:

The tocopherols and carotenoids present protect against oxidative stress and premature aging.
Promotes elasticity and firmness, delaying the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

-Moisturizing and softening:

Helps strengthen the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Leaves skin feeling soft, fresh, and supple.

-Decongestant and revitalizing:

Traditionally used in eye contours for its refreshing and decongestant effect (bags, dark circles).
Provides radiance and a healthy appearance to dull or tired skin.
