The composition is the whole story here: this is an emollient, not an active, and what makes it notable is stability rather than any biological effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because it is dominated by a monounsaturated fatty acid and carries almost no polyunsaturates, it resists oxidation far better than rosehip, sea buckthorn or flax oils.

The honest description is a well-behaved emollient with unusually good shelf life, not a treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The composition also carries a real caveat. Oleic acid disrupts the ordered lipid structure of the stratum corneum and is used experimentally as a penetration enhancer, so oleic-dominant oils tend to perform less well on already-damaged barriers than linoleic-rich ones.
