SEA SQUIRT LIPIDS.

Insufficient Data / HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

Sea squirt lipids are a marine-derived ingredient, rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), alongside beneficial carotenoids. They are understood to play a foundational role in bolstering the skin's natural barrier, thereby aiding in moisture retention and overall epidermal resilience.

Summary

Emollient Skin Barrier Support Moisturizing Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Elasticity Enhancer

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by supplying the skin with essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, and carotenoids. These lipids are integral for maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier, which is crucial for preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and supporting optimal skin health. The polyunsaturated fatty acids further contribute to enhanced skin moisturization and elasticity, and are recognized for their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help mitigate redness and irritation.
