Lupinus albus seed oil, also known as white lupin oil, is a light and highly nutritious vegetable oil extracted by cold pressing the seeds of the white lupin. Its lipid profile, rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic, makes it an excellent active ingredient for skin and hair care.

This oil stands out for its firming and antioxidant properties, making it ideal for anti-aging treatments for sensitive or mature skin. For hair, it strengthens the hair fiber and follicle, stimulating healthy growth and providing shine without leaving a heavy residue.

Thanks to its silky texture and rapid absorption, it is suitable for all skin types, including combination or oily skin, as it does not clog pores. Furthermore, its softness and gentleness make it suitable for formulas geared toward men's cosmetics or fast-absorbing products.
