The Science of Absorption

The Science of Absorption

What determines whether an oil truly absorbs or simply lingers?

That “greasy” feeling often comes down to molecular size. Oils with larger molecules tend to remain on the surface of the skin. Anoint is crafted with small-molecule carrier oils that absorb quickly and completely, allowing nourishment to sink in with ease.

Frequently asked

Why do some body oils feel greasy while others sink right in?
It largely comes down to molecular size and how well an oil matches your skin's own lipids. Oils built from smaller, skin-compatible molecules pass more readily into the stratum corneum (the outermost layer), while heavier, larger-molecule oils tend to sit on the surface and feel greasy. Anoint is formulated with fast-absorbing carrier oils like squalane so it disappears in under 60 seconds.
What is squalane and why does it absorb so well?
Squalane is the stable, hydrogenated form of squalene, a lipid your own skin naturally produces as part of sebum. Because it closely mirrors your skin's own oils, it integrates into the lipid barrier easily, absorbs quickly, and leaves no heavy residue. Its light molecular structure is a big part of why it feels weightless.
Does a smaller molecule really penetrate skin better?
Molecular size is one of the main factors. Dermatology research describes a general '500 Dalton rule': the skin barrier is far more permeable to small, lipophilic (oil-loving) molecules than to large or water-loving ones. That is why small-molecule, skin-mimicking oils feel like they truly absorb rather than just coating the surface.
How should I apply a body oil so it absorbs best?
Apply to skin that is clean and slightly damp, then massage in with a few slow strokes to warm the oil and encourage it to spread and sink in. A little goes a long way with a fast-absorbing formula. Anoint is designed to absorb in under a minute, leaving skin soft and residue-free and safe for sheets and clothing.
