State of the art In the field of natural cosmetics there is a wide range of natural products in the form of creams, pastes and / or ointments. Although the acorn has been used as food by humans, mainly in times of hunger, its use as a medicinal resource has been scarce, although there are numerous studies capable of documenting its use to alleviate some disorders or symptoms of the body. In phytotherapy in general, the acorn can be used in the manufacture of cosmetics for products intended for external skin care, being appropriate to remove pimples, spines and excess fat. In some of these studies and publications they refer to poultices of leaves and acorns to cure canker sores, eczema or wounds, as well as being useful against foot sweating, vaginal colds and sweating in general. In others, they talk about acorn cooking with shell and salted pork rind (pork fat) that soften the rebel hardnesses and heal the malignant sores, just as the Multidisciplinary-Ecological Educational Project ~ the Oak.

Explanation of the invention.

The present invention relates to a new use of acorn oil, either oak acorn oil or cork oak acorn, as an ingredient in cosmetic compositions.

This new use of acorn oil aims to take advantage of the properties of the acorn for the improvement of the skin in its facial, capillary or body use. The use of acorn oil as the main or additional ingredient in natural, economic and / or organic cosmetics is justified by the high percentage of essential fatty acids present in the acorn so beneficial to hydrate, nourish and fiexibilize the skin. Thus, for example, the use of a facial cream with acorn oil helps maintain the hydration of the face by exerting a barrier on the skin against free radicals due to its high presence of linoleic acid. Another example is in the presence of acorn oil in a hair shampoo because oleic acid is very beneficial since it is capable of

cross the cuticle providing nutrients to the fat follicle. And the use of oil

Acorn in body cosmetics helps maintain the structure of the skin thanks to the palmitic acid present in the acorn.

Detailed presentation of an embodiment of the invention.

According to the previously described properties, a possible embodiment and / or application in natural cosmetics is the manufacture - for example, of an Acorn Cream for eczema and skin irritations.

For 125 grs:

65 grams of acorn oil 20 grams of beeswax 20 grams of avocado oil 20 grams of oatmeal Essential oil (aroma), about 8-10 drops Preservative (Vitamin E)

Beeswax is extremely important for its high moisturizing content, but also acts as a natural thickening agent necessary for the texture of the cream to occur. And finally, oatmeal is included in the recipe because it provides a large amount of protein that helps maintain the pH of the skin at 5.5, calming skin irritations. Once all the heavy and calculated ingredients, we add the avocado oil with the beeswax and the acorn oil, we take it to the heat and once melted we add the essential oil to give it the aroma we want, as well as a few drops of Vitamin E as a natural preservative. Once everything is well mixed, finally add the oatmeal mixing well until all the ingredients are well integrated. We distribute in the evases and wait for the cream to solidify, let it simmer for 48 hours and it will be ready for use.
