Lesson key points

  • Oils from the same botanical family often have similar and overlapping qualities
  • The rose family is a large plant family that has multiple sub groups
  • The second family in this video is the cabbage family
  • Cabbage family oils are where we find the very-long-chain fatty acids
  • Meadowfoam and Jojoba oil both also have these very-long chain fatty acids though they are not in the cabbage family
  • The Lipids Decoded Formulators program includes lessons and guidebooks to oils from 16 different botanical families!  

In the next video, we've bringing it all together with a lesson on oils for skin barrier support and skin barrier repair.
