Oils rich in linoleic acid are recommended for use in products for young, acne-prone skin, since they diminish sebum production and reduce the formation of blemishes.; Sesame oil also has high quantities of oleic acid, which has emollient properties. It makes the skin soft, supple, and more radiant.; This oil is rich in lignans, unsaponifiable compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that traps free radicals.; Due to its good nutritional qualities, sesame oil is used in food products such as margarine, seasonings, and frying oil, but it is also used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
