Unfortunately, few of us know how important essential fatty acids really are and how amazing they are for our skin, hair, wound healing, and overall immunity. EFAs govern every crucial biological function in our bodies.
Both Omega-6’s and Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are critical to good health. But even though your body needs these special fats, the body can’t manufacture them. EFAs are consumed through either diet or supplements. Once in the body, these EFAs break down to form eicosanoids—hormone-like substances that regulate essential bodily functions, including the nervous system and immune response.
EFAs are critical structural components of cell membranes throughout the body. They help cells maintain fluid and flexibility, allowing nutrients to enter the cells and wastes to exit. EFA metabolites also “waterproof” the skin, creating an antimicrobial barrier against the elements. Without enough EFAs, your skin can suffer from dryness and premature aging.
A sun-infused blend of precious plant oils and essential fatty acids strengthens the skin’s barrier function and profoundly replenishes the skin to restore a healthy glow.
