Mustard Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oils have been recognized for centuries in cosmetics for their many naturally beneficial properties. They are often used as a base for creams, masks, or conditioners.
But then, what are the benefits of vegetable oils and more specifically of mustard vegetable oil? How can it be used daily for self-care?
Vegetable oil, a natural fat for self-care
Extracted from an oleaginous plant – which contains lipids – vegetable oil is a natural fat, ideal for body care. Its composition, rich in acids, vitamins, and minerals, will provide suppleness, tone, and also hydration to the skin and hair.
Vegetable oil has the great particularity of protecting and deeply nourishing the skin. Indeed, thanks to its high concentration of vitamin E, it acts on the effects of skin aging, visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. For the driest or atopic skin, it also reduces marks left by scars.
As for hair, its nourishing properties and oily texture will immediately penetrate the hair fibers, which will leave a soft and luminous effect on the hair as well as on eyelashes and eyebrows, for those who need it.
Mustard vegetable oil
For centuries, mustard vegetable oil has been used by Oriental women (from India and the Maghreb) both in cooking and for body and hair care.
Despite common assumptions, mustard is not only used in our salad dressings! Mustard vegetable oil is naturally rich in omega 3, vitamins A and E, but also in erucic acid, zinc, and beta-carotene.
Compared to other vegetable oils, this one offers numerous benefits for hair and scalp. With regular application, it will fight against hair loss, stimulate regrowth, and especially eliminate dandruff. It's therefore an essential product to have in your bathroom cabinets!

- For dandruff, the ideal is to combine it with Tea Tree essential oil.
As mentioned, mustard oil can also be applied as an oil bath. To do this, simply dilute it with another oil and combine it with an essential oil according to your hair goal. It's best to leave the mask on for a few hours, and rinse with MakeMyMask shampoo.
Be careful, however, about your porosity. If your hair does not absorb oil, it is better to avoid oil baths!
