Why We Use Oils in Our Skincare Products at Ocadot Essentials
Because dry, cranky skin is so last season.
At Ocadot Essentials, we take our skincare seriously—but we’re not afraid to have a little fun while we do it. So let’s get into it: Why are we so head-over-heels for oils?
Short answer? Because they work.
Long answer? Grab a snack. We’re going on a moisturizing journey.
First Things First: Oil ≠ Greasy Pizza Face
We get it. The word oil can bring up some… shiny memories. But not all oils are created equal. The ones in your skincare? They're plant-powered, skin-loving, and basically nature's apology letter for that one time you used 3-in-1 shampoo.
At Ocadot, we use oils that are light, effective, and smell like they belong in a botanical spa—not your car engine.
Top 5 Reasons We Swear by Oils (and Your Skin Should Too)
1. Your Skin Already Loves Oil.
Yep. Your skin produces its own oil (sebum) because it knows what’s good. We just give it a gentle, natural boost with oils like Jojoba, which mimics your skin’s natural barrier like a skincare stunt double.
2. They’re Basically Multivitamins in a Bottle.
- Olive Oil = antioxidant-rich hydration
- Coconut Oil = bacteria-fighting superhero
- Rose Hip Oil = anti-aging with main character energy
- Castor Oil = brings the lather and the love
Think of them as your skin’s dream team, minus the locker room smell.
3. They Lock in Moisture Like a Vault.
Unlike water-based lotions that ghost your skin after five minutes, oils hang around to actually do the job. Paired with our rich butters like Shea or Cocoa, it’s like your skin wrapped itself in a luxury robe and said, “I deserve this.”
4. Sensitive Skin? Oils Say: “We Got You.”
Our oils are gentle enough for drama-prone skin types. No synthetic fragrances. No harsh chemicals. Just pure, plant-based goodness that doesn’t start fights with your face.
5. Sustainably Sourced, Earth-Approved.
We’re not just here for glowing skin—we’re here for a glowing planet. Our oils are ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and biodegradable. Because self-care shouldn’t come at the Earth’s expense.
