What is inside Nangai Oil?

Nangai Oil is a biomimetic facial oil: a triglyceride-rich formula led by Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil, in which Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalene, Phytosteryl Macadamiate and Phytosterols form a skin-lipid mimetic blend that imitates the skin’s own lipids, with Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil and Squalane helping support the skin barrier, moisture retention, softness and a youthful-looking glow. See the skin-lipid mimetic evidence. Together, its lipids support skin-barrier comfort, moisture retention, suppleness and radiance.

Where does Nangai come from?

In the dry, heated land around Mount Yasur, the Nangai tree evolved an oil that seals and protects against volcanic heat. Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil leads Nangai Oil and joins 25 other SeneGence products and sets. Nangai is the local name for the Canarium indicum tree, also called the Vanuatu almond. SeneGence identified Canarium indicum through fieldwork in Vanuatu; follow the Vanuatu story behind it.

How does Nangai Oil help moisture last?

How do I use Nangai Oil?

Think of moisture in two moves. Water-binding layers such as Climate Control draw hydration in first; Nangai Oil’s lipids then help seal it there. Use three to five drops of Nangai Oil after treatments and before DayTime or Evening Moisturizer. Choose the amount by how much your skin needs. Store it at room temperature; if the oil solidifies, rub it between your hands to liquefy it before you apply it, or gently shake the bottle before use. In a Triple Cell Renewal Trio routine, Nangai Oil follows SeneCell as the lipid step for dry, tight or depleted-feeling skin. See the Nangai Oil formula or compare it with Climate Control.
