Description
What are Omega's and why are they important?
Omega’s are Essential Fatty Acids our bodies need and do not make, we need to consume them through diet. Omega 6 and Omega 3 are the most marketed because they are easy to come by and farm. The benefits of Omega 6 are limited and are pro inflammatory they compete with the Anti Inflammatory Omega 3 for the same enzyme to be broken down and being that western diets are extremely high in Omega 6 [with a ratio of 24:1 rather than 4:1] rarely are you getting the benefits of omega 3.
Overtime our bodies become in an inflammatory state globally, beyond that inflammatory conditions begin to develop. Type 2 Diabties, high cholesterol, heart disease, skin disorder, gut disorder, auto immune disease and so on.
Omega’s are crucial parts of every cell membrane, without a healthy membrane a cell degrades much faster in other words it ‘ages’ and they become unresponsive due to the depreciation of ATP [cell battery life], cells that don’t respond can not build, divide, send or recieve messages.
Sea Buckthorn Oil
Sea Buckthorn Berries are hard to harvest berries found in very cold climates and it’s is this very cold and harsh climate that has allowed these berries to build a defense to protect it.
A complex lipid profile. Containing the correct ratio’s of omega 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9 with 7 being the rarest and of the highest content is what protects the contents within the berry and it’s skin from being damaged as a result of it’s environment.
Our Seabuckthorn is 100% Pure and extracted through CO2 the extraction process avoids the occurance of free radical damage and degredation of it’s nutritional values through cold pressing or cooking.
How will it help my skin?
Omega 7 and Omega 3 & Omega 9 benefits have gloabl wellness benefits in the skin they are;
- Improved tissue regeneration
- Improved cell to cell communication
- Improved Cell Metabolism
- Reduces Inflammation
- Regulates oil production and flow
- Improves sebum composition
- Improves Gut Health
- Improves skin immunity
- Improves stress responses in the skin.
Improve the health of the acid mantel and lipid barrier and maintains healthy full cell membranes.
- The acid mantel maintains a balanced PH, is home to a balanced microbiome and protects agains environmental stressors.
- The Lipid Barrier inhibits rapid water loss [TEWL] preventing dehydration and collagen and elastin degredation.
Both of these barriers are immune responsive and hormonal responsive, which means the skin reacts to hormonal changes and immunity.
