Vitamin F
Vitamin F is made up of two essential omega-3 and omega-6 fats – ALA and LA. These two fats play a major role in regular bodily processes, including immune system function, blood pressure regulation, growth, and development. These two fats also work to ensure that the protective outer layer of the skin maintains strong and healthy. If your skin barrier function is working optimally, it’ll prevent aggressors from getting in and causing water loss.
Anti-Aging
Vitamin F protects the skin from UV rays. Vitamin F converts into compounds, which exhibit inflammatory and immune properties and alter the cellular response of our skin towards ultraviolet light. Frequent use of fatty acids found in Vitamin F work to avoid dryness, rough texture, irritation, allergies, inflammation and other signs of aging while helping to achieve a healthier and younger looking complexion.
Anti-inflammatory
Vitamin F regulates healthy cell function and excessive water loss. It is beneficial for inflammatory skin issues, such as dermatitis and psoriasis, as it works to calm inflammation and soothe troubled skin.
Hydrating
One of the main benefits of Vitamin F is its ability to lock moisture into the skin instead of leaking out. Vitamin F helps to lessen trans epidermal water loss which is the escape of water from the skin. This type of water loss is common in dry skin types and aging skin but vitamin F acts as a moisturizing seal to keep water in.
