An oil rich in EFAs like linoleic acid and gamma-linoleic acid, excellent for repairing and replenishing barrier function to dehydrated skin. Topical applications of the right oils increases cell turnover rate, strengthens capillaries, speeds up wound healing and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) leading to dry skin. Dry skin is the most common trait of aging skin, and by the age of 80 years the epidermis may lose as much as 50% of its thickness, which accelerates water loss.
