Canola Oil

Canola oil is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil extracted from the seeds of the canola plant (Brassica napus). It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, making it a great choice for hydrating and soothing the skin without feeling greasy.

Unlike heavier oils, canola oil absorbs quickly and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
