What is a dry oil?

With its non-greasy finish, multiple properties and often multi-functional uses, dry oil has become the must-have skincare product in your bathroom! But what exactly is it, how do you use it and what are its benefits for skin and hair? 

Now a must-have skincare product, dry oil is a blend of oils that absorbs faster than traditional oils, and leaves no greasy finish after application.

Combining the powers of plant oils with a dry-touch texture is a real galenic feat: the formula of Huile Prodigieuse® by NUXE is an inimitable secret.

It delivers the benefits of the oils it contains, while simply leaving a satin finish on the skin. A real solution for those in a hurry in the morning, who don't like to put on their clothes after a sticky treatment! 

Vegetable oils are oils of natural origin. They can be obtained by cold or hot pressing, from seeds and kernels, or by maceration of plants. They have many virtues of their own: for example, argan oil has nourishing properties, macadamia oil moisturizes, sweet almond oil has softening and soothing properties, jojoba oil balances... They can be combined to meet specific needs and act synergistically for even greater effectiveness.

Although minerals are originally part of the natural world, mineral oils are synthetic ingredients derived from complex chemical or physical transformation processes that modify their structure. They have the particularity of being inert: they form a film on the skin's surface.

As they do not penetrate to the heart of the skin, they do not offer a real "skin care" action like vegetable oils. They are also less respectful of the environment, as they are obtained from non-renewable natural resources.

At NUXE, we made the choice for our legendary dry oil, Huile Prodigieuse® de NUXE, to combine 7 100% plant oils renowned for their multiple benefits for face, body and hair. They are extracted by cold pressing, a method that guarantees their quality and high content of active ingredients. 

Whether normal, dry, sensitive or combination, dry oil is the perfect daily ally for all skin types. It can be used at any age* and all year round. It can be applied to the face, body and hair: directly to the body and face, a few drops to mix with your day care, or as a pre-shampoo mask on the hair... Dry oil is the ultimate multi-use, multi-functional skin care product.
