This oil, derived from *Thraustochytrium sp.* ATCC 26185, is a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and squalene. It is recognized for its potential to deliver moisturizing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin, supported by the presence of these key bioactive compounds.

Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Moisturizing Skin Hydration Detoxifying

Science

Mechanism of Action

The oil's efficacy stems from its composition, notably docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and squalene. Squalene acts as a natural antioxidant, reduces inflammation, and moisturizes, thereby enhancing skin hydration. DHA and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) contribute to anti-inflammatory and detoxifying processes, further supporting skin moisture. Additionally, the presence of carotenoids provides antioxidant defense and can influence cell membrane integrity and stability.
