Nutritional Properties
STEARIC ACID AND OLEIC ACID
These are both found in the protective outer layer of the skin and in sebum and have moisturising, softening, regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Stearic acid and Oleic Acid (Omega 9) improves skin’s suppleness and flexibility, aiding with skin damage and repair.
CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLENIC ACID)
Has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
PALMITOLEIC ACID (OMEGA 7)
Is the most active anti-microbial found in our sebum. Palmitoleic acid is also a basic building block of our skin, but it’s production declines with age.
PALMITIC ACID
Aids with smoothing the appearance of skin and helps to improve barrier protection. It’s production in skin also declines with age.
AN OPTIMAL BALANCE OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, ALPHA-LINOLENIC (OMEGA 3) AND LINOLEIC ACIDS (OMEGA 6), IN A RATIO OF ALMOST 1:1
These essential fatty acids have a role in maintaining the structural integrity and barrier function of skin, they also influence inflammatory and immune responses in the skin.
VITAMINS A, D, E AND K
Fat soluble vitamins. All of which are particularly nurturing for the skin, and are only naturally found together in animal products.
