Facial oils
Pure nature

Plant-based facial oils are of great importance in natural cosmetics. For almost every skin, with a few exceptions, facial oils are a wonderful care product. Elewa’s facial oils are Marula Oil, Mongongo Oil, Kalahari Melon Seed Oil, Ximenia Oil and Cacay Oil, enriched with Copaiba Balsam. Precious gifts of nature.

Africa meets South America!

Cacay oil and Copaiba balsam from the Amazon region in Colombia and Brazil have been enriching our facial care range for several months now. Like all African oils, they are true skincare miracles.

African & South American oils form the basis of all elewa natural beauty facial oils

All African oils contain high concentrations of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, which give your skin the care it needs to maintain a healthy skin barrier. A damaged skin barrier can be the cause of skin problems such as the signs of premature ageing. It also makes the skin more susceptible to skin diseases, which of course then need to be treated with medication.

Key ingredients of our facial oils

Vitamin E, which is contained in high concentrations in all elewa facial oils, plays a decisive role here, with Mongongo oil containing more than 500mg in 100g. Marula oil is also rich in the important antioxidant vitamin E. Kalahari melon seed oil and Ximenia oil also contain vitamin E. It provides the skin with moisture and also ensures that your skin can retain moisture for longer. Facial oils can therefore be important and natural moisturizers for your skin. Sufficiently moisturized skin is important for an even complexion and skin elasticity. Vitamin E is the number one ingredient in our natural, plant-based facial oils for a youthful radiance.

The essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acid are also important here. Linoleic acid (omega 6) ensures a strong skin barrier. Linolenic acid, an important ingredient in plant-based skin care oils used in natural cosmetics, is one of the important nutrients that ensure healthy, functional skin. elewa facial oils are rich in these key ingredients.

The right facial oil for every skin type

Marula facial oil is certainly the number one beauty oil among oils. It is extracted by hand from the seeds of the marula fruit, which are found inside the core of the marula fruit. In addition to the key ingredients already mentioned, it contains a lot of vitamin C, which is known to support the skin’s own collagen production. This can effectively prevent premature skin ageing. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced. The complexion becomes smoother and more even. Marula oil is also rightly called the elixir of youth.

Mongongo facial oil with its high vitamin E content has a very special property. It is extracted from the very hard Mongongo nut and forms an invisible protection against damaging UV rays after application, it polymerizes. This makes it a natural sunscreen, at least to a certain extent. It is very suitable for dry, sensitive skin. Mongongo oil is non-comedogenic, which means that it does not clog the skin’s pores.

Our rich Kalahari Melon Facial Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Kalahari melon

The Kalahari melon, also known as the tsamma or wild watermelon, is the original mother of all melons and is certainly many thousands of years old.

It grows in the dry Kalahari desert. The juicy, bitter-tasting flesh of the Kalahari melon is very nutritious. It is said that the San people, whose home is the Kalahri Desert, can live for up to six weeks just by eating the Kalahari melon. The oil from the seeds is traditionally used for skin care, to protect the skin from the sun and dryness. The conditions in the Kalahari Desert are harsh and the Kalahari melon seed oil is an ideal facial oil. It provides the skin with nutrients and is suitable for all skin types. Even oily skin prone to impurities benefits from the properties of the oil, as it has a calming and balancing effect and ensures an even complexion.

Ximenia facial oil is extracted from the fruit of the Ximenia shrub or tree. It has an almost honey-like consistency and is a true all-round talent among plant oils and in natural cosmetics. It can prevent many skin problems and premature signs of ageing. Even if these are already present, it is a real helper. Ximenia facial oil strengthens the skin barrier and can regulate and improve the skin’s moisture content. Even in cases of inflammatory processes in the skin, extreme dryness and skin irritation, it can have a positive effect on the skin’s condition when used regularly.

elewa facial oils are an enrichment for every skincare routine.
