Features and benefits
- The highly stable vegetable oil environment protects the sensitive omega fatty acids against oxidation. In turn, this improves the stability and shelf-life of the final formulation and safeguards the skin functionality of the polyunsaturated fatty acids.
- Omega-3 (linolenic acid) is renowned for its anti-inflammatory metabolites and calming, soothing skin benefits.
- Omega-6 (linoleic acid) is the dominating essential fatty acid in the skin. It is a building block for skin ceramides which play an important role in maintaining the epidermal water barrier and protecting against dryness.
