Sandalwood Nut Oil is rich in one of the rarest fatty acids found in the plant kingdom - ximenynic acid. Ximenynic acid is said to prevent the breakdown of collagen, which may lead to improved elasticity of the skin. Researchers have identified the following pharmacological properties of Ximenynic acid:
- Potent anti-inflammatory agent
- Increase micro-circulation in skin
- Micro-vascular constriction to reduce varicose veins and cellulitis
- Reduce hair loss
- Reduce sebum secretion/oily skin
- Reduce fat deposition under skin (Adipose tissue)
