We've fallen in love with Oden, a standout French brand born from a family passion. In 2017, Marion and her mother Laurence launched Oden with a collection of seven rare vegetable oils. What sets Oden apart? Every product is crafted in France using ingredients sourced from local regions. These natural, regionally grown oils stem from partnerships with dedicated French farmers preserving their plant heritage. These exceptional oils are as effective as they are ethically sourced—but which one suits your skin, and how should you apply it?
How to Incorporate Vegetable Oil into Your Routine
Vegetable oils are a time-tested skincare secret, packed with active ingredients that restore the skin's hydrolipidic barrier for lasting hydration. Use them as a serum under your moisturizer, as a standalone beauty oil morning and/or evening, or blended into your cream. For best results alone, warm 2 to 4 drops between your palms and gently press into clean skin using your fingertips. Pro tip for ultimate hydration: Mist with a toner or floral water first, then apply the oil to damp skin. The result? Incredibly soft, plump, and comfortable skin—try it and feel the difference!
Borage Oil: Ideal for Mature and Dehydrated Skin
With its pale green hue and silky texture, Oden's borage oil shines thanks to its high vitamin E content. Packed with gamma-linolenic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), it regenerates, plumps, and smooths skin while boosting elasticity and suppleness. This restorative powerhouse offers a true rejuvenating treatment.
Almond Oil: Perfect for Sensitive and Reactive Skin
Pale yellow with a delightful roasted almond aroma, this oil soothes sensitive, reactive, or irritated skin. Softening and ultra-gentle, it imparts a velvety feel, restoring comfort. Rich in vitamin E, it's also anti-inflammatory and promotes healing.
Cherry Oil: Best for Dry Skin
Golden with a subtle cherry scent, Oden's cherry oil is loaded with essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and phytosterols. Emollient and protective, it deeply nourishes, shields against dehydration, and revives radiance—ideal for dry skin.
Hazelnut Oil: Great for Combination, Oily, or Imperfection-Prone Skin
Light golden, with a fine texture and nutty notes, this oil balances combination, oily, or blemished skin. Purifying, healing, and non-comedogenic, it absorbs quickly with a dry finish, leaving skin soft, calm, and matte.
