Looking for a face oil that hydrates, softens, and visibly renews your skin—without clogging pores or feeling greasy? Enter pure plum face oil, a luxurious, antioxidant-rich skincare staple pressed from the seeds of French plums. Long celebrated in both culinary and skincare traditions, these silky, golden drops deliver powerful nourishment for every skin type.
At Kyomi Skin, our pure plum face oil is 100% organic and harvested in the lush orchards of France, where the perfect climate yields nutrient-dense fruits. The result? An oil that feels like silk, smells like marzipan, and works like magic.
What Is Plum Face Oil?
Plum oil is cold-pressed from the kernel (seed) of the Prunus domestica fruit—also known as the French Ente plum. This oil is a natural emollient loaded with vitamins and skin-essential fatty acids. It's known for its high concentration of oleic and linoleic acid, which help strengthen the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.
According to a 2020 study in Molecules, plum kernel oil contains over 70% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid—two essential lipids for skin health and repair (Molecules, 2020).
Why French Plums Make a Difference
While plum oils exist around the world, French plum oil stands apart due to its unique aroma, texture, and potency. Grown in the mineral-rich soil of the Gascony region, these plums develop a subtle marzipan-like scent (thanks to natural benzaldehyde compounds) and a lightweight, fast-absorbing consistency that feels luxurious on skin.
The French “Ente” plum is prized for its rich oil content and is used both in skincare and culinary traditions for its nutrient density (INRAE, French National Research Institute for Agriculture).
Nutritional Profile: What’s Inside Plum Oil?
Pure plum oil is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that contribute to radiant, resilient skin.
-
Vitamin E (Tocopherols): Protects skin cells from oxidative stress, UV damage, and premature aging
-
Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Deeply nourishes and softens dry or mature skin
-
Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): Reinforces the skin’s barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss
-
Phytosterols & Polyphenols: Help reduce inflammation and calm redness
A study published in Food Chemistry confirms that plum kernel oil exhibits high antioxidant activity and stability, making it ideal for skincare applications (Dachery et al., 2016).
Key Skin Benefits of Pure Plum Face Oil
1. Deep Hydration Without the Grease
Plum oil absorbs quickly, delivering moisture without clogging pores—ideal for all skin types, from dry to acne-prone.
2. Anti-Aging Power
Antioxidants in plum oil neutralize free radicals, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, dullness, and sagging. It also promotes elasticity by supporting collagen structure.
3. Soothing for Sensitive Skin
Its high linoleic acid content makes it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin prone to irritation, rosacea, or redness.
Dermatology research shows that linoleic acid is often deficient in acne-prone skin, and topical use can improve clarity and reduce breakouts (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2014).
4. Environmental Protection
Vitamin E and polyphenols form a barrier against UV rays and pollution, defending your skin from premature aging caused by oxidative stress.
How to Use Plum Face Oil in Your Routine
Morning:
Mix 1–2 drops into your moisturizer or sunscreen to boost hydration and glow.
Evening:
Apply a few drops directly onto clean skin as a final step in your routine. Press into the skin using upward motions for enhanced absorption.
Pro tip: Blend it with your foundation for a radiant, dewy finish—or with your favorite mask for a nourishing boost.
