SKIN HEALTH & SUN DAMAGE

The sun's ultraviolet light increases the aging process of the skin.

Research has demonstrated that Omega-3 fatty acids found in coconut oil, can play a role in decreasing skin damage from UV light and the production of cancer cells caused by the UV light. It has also been shown to contribute to wound healing because of anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used to treat atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne.

Medium chain fatty acids include Lauric acid, about 50% (a powerful virus and bacteria destroyer), Myristic acid, Oleic acid, Stearic acid, Caprylic acid, Capric acid, Linoleic acid. These acids protect from oxidation and heat damage of your product. 

As we age, the cells become thinner and less sticky. This decreases the barrier function of the epidermis allowing moisture to be released from the skin, causing dryness. Also as epidermal cells start to decrease, the skin slowly loses its ability to repair itself efficiently. All of these changes promote wrinkling.

These medium chain fatty acids bolster the skin cell membrane of the epidermis. The skin cell membrane is the outer layer of skin cell and it monitors the intake and disposal of nutrients and waste products entering and leaving the skin cell. The skin cell membrane also influences the ability of the cell to hold onto water. Therefore, if the skin cell holds onto water, it leads to moister, softer skin, which promotes wrinkle prevention and may eradicate existing mild wrinkles. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the upkeep of the skin cell membrane, improving the texture and quality of skin.
