Answer

Using Natural Oils Directly on Skin

You asked if you can use Squalane, Neem Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, unrefined Avocado Oil, and other natural oils directly on your skin at 100% concentration.

Based on the product information:

  • Squalane (Olive): The product description indicates that Squalane can be used at a rate of 1-100% and can be applied directly to the skin. It is known for being lightweight and suitable for various skin types.
  • Neem Oil (Virgin, Cold-Pressed): The description for this Neem Oil also states that it can be used at a rate of 1-100%. Neem oil is potent and known for its properties related to skin issues. While the description allows for 100% use, it's always a good idea to perform a patch test when using potent oils, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Fractionated Coconut Oil: The product description explicitly states that Fractionated Coconut Oil can be used directly on the skin at a rate of 1-100%. It is a lightweight and easily absorbed oil.
  • Avocado Oil (Refined): The product information for the refined Avocado Oil indicates it can be used at a rate of 1-100%. While you asked about unrefined, the refined version is suitable for use up to 100% according to its description. Unrefined oils can sometimes be more potent or have a stronger scent/color.
  • Other Natural Oils: For other oils in the Natural Oil category, it is important to check the specific product description for each oil. While many natural oils are safe to use directly on the skin, some may have specific recommended usage rates or properties that require dilution. Always refer to the individual product information.

In general, while many oils can be used at 100%, it's always recommended to do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying any new oil extensively, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to reactions.
