Consumer interest in clean, plant-based beauty has surged in recent years, with the facial oil segment alone projected to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2025 (1) Facial oil is the perfect solution for delicate, mature skin because as we age, reduced collagen, elastin, and natural oils result in a weaker skin barrier, increased dryness, and sensitivity. But what is the best facial oil for dry skin and why should we use it? 

Ayurveda understands these symptoms as an increase in Vata dosha—characterised by dryness, roughness, and thinning. To counteract this, Ayurveda recommends deeply nourishing, lipid-rich oils to balance Vata. Ayurvedic facial oils, unlike creams, mimic our skin’s natural structure and penetrate through the cell membrane, delivering botanical properties directly into the skin cells, significantly improving skin barrier repair and moisture retention, for radiant, healthy skin (2)

Facial Oils vs Water-Based Moisturisers

Most cream moisturisers have absorption issues, they don't permeate the skins protective barrier, and sit on top of the skin, additionally due to their water content they often contain emulsifiers and preservatives that can disrupt the skin microbiome and weaken barrier function (3) 

Ayurvedic facial oils don’t need these additional preservatives; they naturally resist microbial contamination due to their botanical lipid composition and inherent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, ensuring safety and efficacy for mature skin (4)
