  • Essential oils, people of colour, darkening effect

    Posted by Majman on October 30, 2018 at 10:15 am

    Hello fam! My question is for people who have had experience using carrier oils especially people of colour or just anyone who is an expert on this issue.

    I started oil cleansing and even though the whole application is about 40 seconds, it darkens me and my fair complexioned mom also got darkened and most people of color complain of darkening effect of using carrier oils.

    Is there a way out? If not, is there a way to incorporate lightening agents and extracts into it that are oil soluble or if one can incorporate extracts and lightening agents in water form in small dose into a considerably higher oil content with an emulsifier that would give a nice oily finish without the thickening effect of a basic emulsifier. I don’t know if you get my drift! Thanks.
