Annabelle Minerals recently introduced three unique skincare products. One of them is Stay Pure oil, which meets the needs of problematic and difficult-to-care-for oily and acne-prone skin.

Ingredients

The composition of Stay Pure oil is an exceptionally carefully refined blend of natural plant oils and valuable essential oils, which are intended to provide optimal balance for impure, oily and acne-prone skin.

The formula is based on argan oil, coconut oil, castor oil, crambe oil, blackcurrant seed oil, and sunflower seed oil, and is rich in valuable vitamin E. The oil's cleansing properties are enhanced by the use of natural essential oils with a unique, intensely herbal aroma: thyme and wintergreen. Stay Pure oil has strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties, making it ideal for more problematic skin types.

Argan oil – due to its beneficial properties, it's rightly called liquid gold. It has an excellent consistency and works well as an oil base. Cosmetics containing it are incredibly pleasant to use. They spread very well, absorb quickly, and improve skin elasticity. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E, squalane, plant pigments, and phytosterols.

Coconut oil has gained an unfairly bad reputation in the care of blemished skin. Although it's primarily a saturated fat, it's excellent at absorbing impurities and removing them very easily from the skin, making it an excellent makeup remover.

Castor oil – a very thick oil from the castor bean plant, it has natural emulsifying and foaming properties, making it an excellent addition to oil-based cleansing blends. It has a slight astringent effect on the skin, making it recommended for acne-prone and oily skin.

Abyssinian oil – extremely chemically stable with a pleasant, non-greasy consistency. It smooths and nourishes the skin very well, while also having a low comedogenic potential.

Blackcurrant seed oil – a very light, easily absorbed, and pleasantly dry oil. It contains a number of active compounds. One of the most important is the unique gamma-linolenic acid, which has strong anti-inflammatory, healing, and elasticity-boosting properties.

Thyme oil and wintergreen oil – natural antibiotic active ingredients that don't sterilize the skin, providing optimal antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antiseptic effects. Regular use prevents the development of resistance in pathogenic strains and gradually normalizes the natural microbiome. They also accelerate healing, dry out blemishes, and prevent the development of comedones.

Vitamin E – a strong antioxidant, elasticizes and nourishes the skin, also has a preservative function.

Sunflower seed oil – rich in omega-6 fatty acids, light, spreads very well, gives a slippery consistency.

INCI: Argania spinosa kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Ricinus communis (Castor) Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil, Thymus Vulgaris Oil, Gaulteria Gaultheria procumbens,Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil

Properties

Stay Pure oil has a very pleasant, yet noticeable, oily consistency. It spreads easily in the hands and is exceptionally easy to remove from the skin with accessories. It doesn't weigh down the skin and is easy to rinse off. Even when used in leave-on skincare, such as an oil serum, it works beautifully with the skin, but it should always be warmed in your hands and applied to damp skin. It has an intense, herbal, fresh scent. It perfectly soothes and calms acne-prone skin and accelerates the healing of blemishes.

For whom?

The Stay Pure version is designed for those struggling with impure skin, including excessive seborrhea, overactive sebaceous glands, and blackheads and purulent acne. This is a great product for those struggling with skin problems and a compromised hydrolipid balance.

How to use?

Stay Pure oil has so many uses that the term "multifunctional" is no accident. It can be used:

• In the traditional OCM method, spread the oil between your hands, massage the skin until the oil and dirt combine, then remove excess product with a damp, warm cloth or konjac sponge. If necessary, cleanse the skin with cleansers containing detergents or emulsifying agents.
• In the rinse-off oil method, you can add an emulsifier to the oil or enrich your cleansing oil with Stay Pure oil if it cleanses too strongly and causes skin irritation.
• As an additive to cleansing agents, the addition of oil softens the effects of detergents and emulsifying agents. The more oil there is, the better the skin is protected from drying out during cleansing and when cleansing agents are removed from the skin.
• As a standalone oil-based facial serum, warm a small amount of oil in your hands and gently pat into the skin. Stay Pure Oil will nourish, elasticize, and firm your complexion, while reducing the appearance of inflammatory breakouts.
• As  A care additive to creams, milks, serums, and essences. The addition of oil softens, better protects, and lubricates your skin. This is especially important in winter, when skin dehydrates more easily and quickly.
• As a product for modifying color cosmetics. If your foundation is too light and drying, your lipstick is too set, your concealer is too weak, or your mascara is starting to set – add Annabelle Minerals Multi-Purpose Oil.
• As an oil that stimulates new hair growth and reduces dandruff symptoms. Apply some oil to your hands, gently spread, and, performing a gentle massage to stimulate hair follicles, apply the oil to the scalp. The oil will not only nourish and stimulate new hair growth but also improve the condition of the scalp – it will moisturize, properly lubricate, and reduce dandruff of any cause.
• As a nourishing oil for body, hands, and dry cuticles. Massage the oil into damp skin and softened cuticles.
• As a natural antiperspirant, add an equal amount or more of baking soda to one serving of oil.

If the Stay Pure version does not meet your current needs, be sure to check out the other versions of multifunctional oils – Stay Essential and Stay Calm .
