I would recommend the top 3: Jojoba Oil, which supplies the wax esters similar to what is in your own natural skin oils (sebum).... Macadamia Oil, since it provides a fatty acid profile almost identical to natural skin sebum, and it is a stable oil, and squalene to supply the squalene found in natural skin oils.
When you keep your skin regimen "skin friendly" you can be assured that the skin will assimilate these materials without disruption or irritation. Keeping your skin moisturized with these types of emollients is the best anti-aging thing you can do for your skin when dealing with NATURAL botanical skin actives.
And, as a bonus, these oils will be fast penetrating and non-greasy. They are what we call in the industry "dry emollients", because of the fast penetration and non-greasy skin feel.

Eeep, didn't mean to introduce controversy!
WHile it's good to be aware of the affects of what we use on our skin, I think there's a big difference between using a couple drops of Argan oil topically and ingesting as much as was given to those rats. They got 5 mL/kg/day of argan oil - for a 50kg woman, you'd need to drink 250mL, 1 cup, every day to approximate that! |

with all my respect to dr pickard I think this is absurd! He just wants to sell his oils!
We eat argan oil and cook with it in morocco. I never heard of any side affects from it. it was first discovere to treat diabetes and cured so many.

Argan Oil should be avoided at all costs. Again this is something I learned from Dr. Pickart.

Argan oil can induce anaphylaxis. This is an acute and often fatal allergic response.
It also can damage heart tissue.

[The effect of argan oil on heart function during ischemia and reperfusion]
Benajiba N, Morel S, De Leiris J, Boucher F, Charrouf Z, Mokhtar N, Aguenaou H.
Laboratoire de Nutrition et Alimentation, Faculté des Sciences, Université Ibn Tofail, Kénitra, Maroc.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of organ oil on isolated heart function before and after ischemia and on the activity of cardiac antioxidant enzymes. 16 Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups; control group and treated group receiving 5 mL/kg/day of argan oil. After 8 weeks of treatment, hearts were perfused and subjected to a global ischemia followed by reperfusion. Activity of cardiac antioxidant enzymes was assessed in freeze-clamped hearts at the end of reperfusion. Results showed that argan oil induces: 1--damage to heart function during the preischemic period, 2--decreased functional recovery during reperfusion and 3--significant increase in catalase activity. It seems that, in our experimental conditions, organ oil increases heart sensitivity to ischemia and reperfusion. However, the mechanism involved has yet to be understood.

Bilogical Healing Oil's like Emu or Squalane would be a better choice. Jojoba is also good.
