7 Natural Oils That Nourish and Brighten the Skin
It is the magic of the number 7, which in Andalusian philosophy—inextricably linked to medicine—had a cosmic and spiritual dimension, but above all, it represents cosmetic wisdom and a culture of skin care and beauty. We are referring to the base of 7 100% natural vegetable oils that we have selected for the formulation of the new body care and aromatherapy line EL JARDÍN DE LAS EMOCIONES, because in Al-Andalus there was no disconnect between the elevation of the spirit, the well-being of the body, and the pleasure of the senses— a great lesson in unity and the art of living that we wish we would continue to practice today.
The skin needs water and it needs oil; water is everything— you have to drink it, cleanse with it, and keep it on your skin. That’s where the oil that already exists naturally in the skin plays its most important role: preserving the epidermis’s water content and preventing it from evaporating faster than it should. But beyond that, oil is the primary nutrient that the skin’s surface layers absorb and assimilate as if it were liquid gold. That is why we have made EVOO—precious extra virgin olive oil, a superfood packed with polyphenols, essential fatty acids, and vitamins—a cornerstone of our hydro-nutritive base. And not just any EVOO, but the best we could find in Andalusia; from it, we extract active ingredients with powerful antioxidant, nourishing, and restorative properties. To this, we add six other vegetable oils that are nature’s greatest gifts: those derived from nuts like hazelnuts or almonds, from grains like wheat germ, from seeds like argan or jojoba, and from fruits like grapes—the other great reservoir of antioxidants right at our fingertips, without having to look much further.
And so we come to No. 7, an almost magical blend of oils designed to nourish, regenerate, and protect the skin. This blend forms the foundation of all the hydro-nourishing oils from EL JARDÍN DE LAS EMOCIONES, to which we add essential oils that impart the distinctive aromatic notes of each oil. In this way, we honor our Andalusian ancestors by caring for the body and delighting the senses.
