FRAGARIA CHILOENSIS SEED OIL.

This oil functions primarily as an emollient, forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface to significantly reduce transepidermal water loss and boost hydration. Its rich profile of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid and Omega-6 Linoleic Acid, is crucial for maintaining and repairing skin barrier integrity and optimizing moisture retention. The oil is abundantly endowed with antioxidants such as tocopherols, polyphenols, and essential vitamins (C, B, A, E), which collectively neutralize damaging free radicals, thereby protecting against premature photo-aging. Furthermore, it supports dermal health by inhibiting collagen degradation, stimulating new collagen synthesis, and consequently improving skin elasticity and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also possesses properties that calm and soothe dry, irritated, and inflamed skin conditions, while promoting healthy cell regeneration and potentially assisting in sebum regulation.
