What are the benefits of Gascogne Plum vegetable oil?
Gascogne Plum vegetable oil is actually derived from the plum kernel, located inside the stone, which is pressed, squeezed and dried before the oil is extracted. Its use in cosmetics is a valuable way of making use of this part of the fruit that is not utilised by the food industry.
Naturally rich in vitamin E and omega-9, with softening and antioxidant properties, Gascogne Plum vegetable oil is ideal for helping to combat the signs of skin ageing, prevent dehydration and restore the skin’s radiance.
