Essential fatty acids (EFAs) play a vital role in the development and maintenance of healthy skin, influencing everything from cell membranes to the skin's natural oil barrier. Achieving the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 oils when applied topically can effectively help reduce inflammation. One noteworthy omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), contributes to wrinkle prevention by inhibiting UV-induced enzymes that damage collagen. Additionally, spectral tests conducted on PROTECTIVE DAY OIL indicate it offers significant UV protection, particularly in the long wavelength UVA range, likely due to its rich carotenoid content.
