It contains an extraordinary high concentration of Omega 3 (around 31%), Omega 6 (around 20%) and Omega 9 (around 6%). These essential fatty-acids cannot be produced by our body and are only obtained from food ingestion. The Glucosyl ceramides (2%) are of high purity and are precursors of the ceramides found at the stratum corneum.
Dry and sensitive skins usually have in common a weak barrier function which leads to high TEWL and easy penetration of alien substances. Most of the times, this is due to a deficiency in skin lipids (ceramides and free fatty acids). Defective skin barrier results in increase water loss and enhanced sensitivity to environment. These leads to:- Loss of transparency, brightness, velvetiness and reflectance
- Excessive desquamation of superficial horny layer
- Destruction of cohesion and destructuration of the regularity of horny layers
- Easy penetration of external agents
- Inflammation
- Loss of cutaneous comfort, itchy skin and tightness sensation
- Reduced capacity to hold water
- Rough and wrinkled skin

- Increase of moisture: Makes the surface of the skin softer and smoother
