With our focus on sustainability, we have developed this valuable oil from our blueberry byproduct.
If your skin is sensitive or easily irritated, it’s likely due to a compromised skin barrier that is not resilient to external irritants. Oils that contain fatty acids can tackle issues like acne, redness and irritation while strengthening your skin’s barrier and boosting its hydration levels. Our blueberry pomace oil contains linoleic acid (18:2) an omega-6 essential fatty acid not produced by the body. Fatty acids can be effectively delivered to your skin through diet or externally.
Suitable for internal & external use.
"Essential Fatty Acids, EFAs, are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that cannot be synthesized in our bodies. Omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) essential fatty acids are crucial to skin function and appearance. Addition of various EFA-rich oils can modulate the inflammatory response in both dermal and epidermal layers of the skin."
"Linoleic acid (18:2ω6) and α-linolenic acid (18:3ω3) represent the parent fats of the two main classes of polyunsaturated fatty acids: the ω-6 (n-6) and the ω-3 (n-3) fatty acids, respectively. These fatty acids are showing promise as safe adjunctive treatments for many skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, systemic lupus erythematosus, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and melanoma."
