Omega-3 and omega-6 are classified as essential fatty acids, because the human body cannot produce them. An external contribution is therefore essential. Omega-6, represented by linoleic acid, is a constituent of ceramides. They help to reconstitute epidermal lipids and are involved in membrane fluidity. Linoleic acid helps limit water loss from the skin, while also having softening and nourishing properties. Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid), as well as maintaining the skin's elasticity, is largely involved in anti-inflammatory processes: it reduces redness and soothes irritation.

Our aim: to offer an effective ORGANIC facial oil that respects your skin.
