Overview
Essential lipids for a strong, hydrated, and resilient skin barrier.
Detailed Information
In the realm of dermatological science, essential fatty acids (EFAs) have emerged as unsung heroes. Essential fatty acids are used in skincare primarily to support barrier repair, hydration, skin comfort and resilience. The outer skin barrier is made up of corneocytes surrounded by a lipid matrix containing ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. When this lipid structure is disrupted, transepidermal water loss increases and the skin may become dry, tight, flaky, itchy or reactive. Topical essential fatty acids help replenish these lipids and support the formation of a healthier, more organized barrier. This can improve moisture retention and reduce sensitivity to environmental irritants.
