Omega fatty acids

Omega fatty acids are a group of essential fatty acids that are widely used in natural skincare as well as in food supplements thanks to their high antioxidant content. Omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 are the fatty acids most commonly used in skincare products. Omega fatty acids are suitable for all skin types, but especially for mature and dehydrated skin.

Omega fatty acids are used in skincare to:

• Moisturize your skin
• Repair and renew skin cells
• Nourish your skin with antioxidants

Omega-3, also known as alpha-linolenic acid, is used as a natural anti-ageing ingredient thanks to its ability to promote skin cell regeneration and reduce collagen damage in the skin.

Omega-9 is a monounsaturated oleic acid that deeply moisturizes the skin. It also has emollient properties and makes the skin smooth.

Omega-6, also known as linoleic acid, is the best omega fatty acid for acne-prone skin. This is because it strengthens the skin barrier and prevents dry skin.
