Information
Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that is a crucial component of the skin's natural barrier. It is a type of omega-6 fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own, so it must be obtained through diet or topical application. In skincare, linoleic acid is highly valued for its ability to maintain skin health, support hydration, and improve the appearance of various skin conditions.
Where does it come from?
Linoleic acid is found naturally in many plant oils, including sunflower, safflower, evening primrose, and grape seed oils. It is extracted from these sources through processes like cold pressing or solvent extraction, which preserve its beneficial properties for use in skincare products.
Moisture Retention: Linoleic acid helps strengthen the skin's barrier, reducing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated.
Anti-inflammatory: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, making it beneficial for conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea.
Skin Barrier Repair: Linoleic acid is essential for maintaining and repairing the skin's lipid barrier, which protects against environmental damage and prevents dryness.
Regulates Sebum Production: For those with oily or acne-prone skin, linoleic acid can help balance sebum production, reducing the occurrence of clogged pores and breakouts.
Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of linoleic acid can improve skin smoothness and softness, promoting a healthier and more radiant complexion.
How is it used in our products?
