| Argan oil, emu, squalene, macadamia nut oil, avocado, almond, tamanu, etc. all I know is that they are good for skin so cannot comment on their specific properties. |

Chia seed oil and Inca inchi oil have vegan omegas that are nourishing to the skin's barrier.
Perricone has been using them but you can buy the oils yourself for a fraction of the cost. |
HI Fawnie,
This is the first I've heard of Inca inchi oil. What do you know/think of it? I value your opinion. Thanks. |

I use Inca inchi (sacha inchi) oil and chia oil interchangeably since they have similar fatty acid profiles (not exact tho). They both plump up the skin and give a healthy glow when applied to damp skin to seal in moisture. I dont even wear foundation any more because I like this healthy luminous look.
"Sacha Inchi Oil is not only highly digestible and full of antioxidants, it is an amazing plant source of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. It also contains vitamin A and vitamin E – helping the body's cells, tissues, glands and organs stay healthy.
Sacha Inchi oil can be added to salad dressings or smoothies. Additionally, Sacha Inchi Oil is light enough to be applied topically to the skin and has been used for its anti-aging properties and ability to visibly reduce wrinkles."

I wont insult you by posting a wall of text but there are many sites that give infos about topical EFA oils:

Dr Setterfield recs using omega oil post derma needling but fish oil just seems wrong somehow (not bad tho if you use Carlson's lemon flavor). This doesnt have a fishy smell and its very smooth feeling. You do need to refrig it tho since its fragile like fish oil.
Adding 0.2% rosemary antioxidant oil to a bottle of sachi inchi helps retard oxidation:

This is a great article. I like that it addresses the value of topical and internal supplementation (Needing both for maximum effect).
So important: EFAs cannot be synthesized in our bodies and must therefore be obtained from the diet. They are almost magical. |
