Argan Oil is a natural, botanical ingredient perfect for ultra-nourishing hair and beauty products. It’s fast-drying, which means Argan Oil won’t leave any greasy residue in your hair or on your skin. When used in hair products it smooths damaged or frizzy hair by locking moisture into the follicles without weighing them down, also reflecting light for a shiny, smooth finish. Jam-packed with Vitamin E, antioxidants and Omega 3, 6 and 9, Argan Oil is an amazing hydrator and moisturizer that can help stave off the signs of ageing. But, this is also one of the most non-acnegenic oils on the planet, which is why breakout-prone skin types love it. Basically, Argan Oil will leave you glowing.

Chia Seed Oil is absolutely packed with skin- loving saturated fatty acids, which not only help support healthy skin cell membranes, but also fight the harmful (and aging!) impact of free radicals. Studies show that Chia Seed Oil is one of the richest botanical sources of omega-3s on the planet. It’s a powerful topical emollient and also anti-inflammatory. Chia’s an amazing potential solution to help prevent and treat itchy, dry skin. Because it’s a little thicker than some other oils, like Jojoba Oil or Argan Oil, it’s more commonly used in body products or for dry skin that is not acne-prone.

Clary Sage Essential Oil is a powerful ingredient that helps balance the skin's oil production. It essentially tells the skin cells when to produce more sebum (oil) and when they need to cut back on oil production. That’s why we love it works for both dry and oily skin types Clary Sage Essential Oil is calming and soothing, and can help relieve inflammation, eczema, and itchy skin. It’s widely used in the fragrance industry for its herbaceous, earthy, slightly floral scent. You’ll dig it, we’re sure.

This green-colored, versatile oil is jam-packed with antioxidants and rich skin-brightening vitamin C, but won’t block your pores. It has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and is a great topical oil for aggravated skin.

Jasmine Essential Oil is extracted from Jasmine flowers and smells floral and downright amazing—truly, everyone loves it.

We love it in face, hair, and body products. You will too.

Jojoba Oil is non-acnegenic (meaning it won't block your pores) and antibacterial, making it perfect for breakout-prone skin. This is our absolute favorite blend for oily, dry, or combination complexions as it can help balance the skin’s sebum production. At the same time it also replenishes the skin, softening and strengthening skin cells to also minimize the size of pores while creating a seal to lock-in moisture. Jojoba oil can help with the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. A powerful emollient, it also soothes dry, flaky skin. It’s a golden oil and virtually scentless. The Buff uses only cold-pressed and unrefined Jojoba Oil—which is the best of the best.

An effective ingredient for targeting hyperpigmentation and scars, lemon essential oil can also help manage breakouts. Use this ingredient to score a brighter, more youthful complexion. We don’t recommend this citrus essential oil for ultra-sensitive skin that is prone to irritation. As you would expect, Lemon Essential Oil smells just like lemon.

Naturally rich in vitamin C, Maracuja Oil is pressed from the seeds of passionfruit. It’s used to brighten the skin and give a fresh glow. It’s rich in essential fatty acids that nourish your skin while providing a protective barrier against environmental factors and water loss that can trigger the skin dehydration and speed up the aging process (hello, fine lines). Maracuja Oil has a golden color and smells fruity—like passionfruit.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil is a potent oil with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. This mean it can help issues like eczema and other skin irritation. Red Raspberry Seed Oil’s also filled with antioxidants, is a highly effective moisturizer, and can help improve elasticity while smoothing fine lines.

This super-expensive (but seriously powerful) essential oil is both rare and difficult to extract. It’s used in very small quantities to help hydrate the skin—rose essential oil is amazing moisture retention abilities and for its floral fragrance. Rose Essential Oil can also help to quickly reduce redness, thanks to its astringent properties, and can brighten the complexion almost immediately. It’s a favorite for mature and dry skin.

Rosehip Oil is non-acnegenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores!) and filled with brightening properties great for dull, lackluster skin. Rich in vitamin E, Rosehip Oil is anti-inflammatory and loaded with antioxidants and natural fatty acids that help promote an even skin tone, fight hyperpigmentation and sun damage, and support the healthy repair of skin cells to combat fine lines.

It’s a little thicker than other oils such as jojoba oil and rosehip oil, making it a favorite for very dry skin. Tamanu Oil is packed with Calophyllolide, a natural neo-flavonoid that has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show its antibacterial activity can be effective against the types of bacteria that cause acne.

V

Vitamin E is a natural oil usually derived from plants. The Buff extracts Vitamin E from sunflowers. Sometimes called Tocopherol, this ingredient is an antioxidant powerhouse that provides superhero-style protection for your skin when used in beauty products. Studies show Vitamin E can absorb UV rays and even help prevent UV-caused free radical damage to skin. It’s anti-inflammatory, ultra-moisturizing, and there’s even some early evidence to suggest it could help prevent scarring and reduce the signs of aging.

Rejuvenating, calming, moisturizing—Ylang Ylang Essential Oil almost does it all. This ingredient helps your skin retain moisture retention, balancing sebum production, and rejuvenate for an all-over glow. It’s also great at nourishing dry or irritated skin.
