Essential Fatty Acids
Essential Fatty Acids keep our skin looking youthful and healthy by stimulating cell regeneration. Fatty acids act as gatekeepers for our cells, keeping in nutrients and keeping out harmful bacteria.
ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID (OMEGA-3)
is known to:
- Lessen inflammation
- Control blood clotting on the skin
- Soothe joint pain and ease stiffness to improve flexibility
LINOLEIC ACIDS (OMEGA 6)
An essential fatty acid (EFA)—which means it’s vital for human health but isn’t produced naturally in the body— Linoleic Acid fortifies the skin’s barrier, thereby protecting us from UV damage and pollution that can cause free radical damage. Sometimes referred to as Vitamin F, Linoleic acid has moisturising and healing properties, and its anti-inflammatory qualities help diminish acne.
They are known to:
- Moisturize hair and promote its growth
- Facilitate wound healing
- Be an effective emulsifier in the formulation of soaps and quick-drying oils
- Exhibit anti-inflammatory properties
- Soothe acne and reduce chances of future outbreaks
- Promote moisture retention in skin and hair
- Make oils feel thinner in consistency when used in an oil blend, thus being beneficial for use on acne-prone skin
OLEIC ACIDS (OMEGA 9)
Oleic fatty acid seals in moisture and allows our skin to retain the water it needs to stay hydrated and healthy
They are known to:
- Maintain the softness, suppleness, and radiance of skin and hair
- Stimulate the growth of thicker, longer, and stronger hair
- Reduce the appearance of aging, such as premature wrinkles and fine lines
- Eliminate dandruff and thereby support hair growth
- Boost immunity
- Exhibit antioxidant properties
- Prevent joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain.
