Plants enclose the fatty acids known as "essential" so that they are not synthesized by mankind, yet these fatty acids play a primordial role in human metabolism.

For example, linoleic acid, -linoleic acid and their polyenic derivatives, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are indispensable for the integrity of the cell wall. They are also involved in rebuilding the epidermis and regulating hydration.



These are the active ingredients that make plant oils and their derivatives the obvious choice for cosmetics.
