It functions primarily as a rich emollient and antioxidant carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Occlusive properties:<\/strong> Helps form a protective, hydrating layer on the skin&#8217;s surface to reduce moisture loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Skin conditioning and emollience:<\/strong> Delivers fatty acids and nutrients directly to the skin, softening, smoothing, and improving skin suppleness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Antioxidant protection:<\/strong> Exceptionally rich in vitamin E, a potent natural antioxidant that helps protect skin lipids from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we use it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fatty acid profile:<\/strong> It is particularly high in <strong>linoleic<\/strong> acid (an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat, ~50-60%) and contains a significant amount of <strong>oleic<\/strong> acid (~25-35%). This makes it both nourishing and relatively lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comedogenic rating:<\/strong> Rated 3 (moderately comedogenic). Its richness means it is best suited for normal to dry skin types or rinse-off formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We value it for its dual role as a skin-softening emollient and a natural source of stable antioxidants. It helps nourish the skin barrier while contributing to the formula&#8217;s overall stability against oxidation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: ZEA MAYS GERM OILType: Vegetable oilOrigin: Extracted from the germ (embryo) of corn kernels (Zea
