Thank you all for being Customers TO DIE FOR! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEEKLY SPECIAL: KUKUI NUT, BORAGE & EVENING PRIMROSE OILS ON SALE THRU 02/26/05! ~Why Choose Oils with a high Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) Content? Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are just as essential as vitamins, mineral salts and proteins. They are basic substances from which not only skin lipids (ceramides) and cell membranes (phospholipids) but also hormones and autocoids (e.g., prostaglandins) are synthesized. Importance of PUFAs for the skin: When applied topically, unsaturated fatty acids, as contained for example in Borage, Evening Primrose, and Kukui Nut Oils (all especially rich in gamma-linolenic acid), are characterized by many positive effects. Improved elasticity of the skin: The structure and properties of the cell membranes and lamellar skin lipids depend very largely on the type and composition of the phospholipids or ceramides forming the double lipid layers. If only saturated fatty acids are present, stiff and rigid cell membranes or skin lipids are formed. In contrast to this, phospholipids and ceramides with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid or gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), form structures which are more mobile and flexible. The reason for this effect could be the lower inter- and intra-molecular forces due to the more sharply angled molecular structure of the unsaturated fatty acids. The result is an increase in the elasticity of the skin since un-saturated fatty acids are incorporated in the cell membranes of the skin on the one hand and in the skin lipids (ceramide structures) on the other. Enhanced barrier function of the skin: The barrier function of the skin is enhanced. The probable reason for this is the greater packing density of the lamellar skin lipids with a high PUFA component, especially GLA. Reduced transepidermal water loss: One effect of the enhanced barrier function of the skin is the reduction of the transepidermal water loss. Thus, for example, in the skin of hairless mice which are first given a diet free from essential fatty acids, an alcoholic gel with a content of 1.5% borage oil applied daily lowers the transepidermal water loss by about 68% already after four days (P.M. Elias, 1989) To sum up, it may be said that PUFA-nourished skin appears younger and smoother. Symptoms with a PUFA deficiency: Just how important unsaturated fatty acids are for the skin is most evident when the genesis of a PUFA deficiency is considered: ~First of all, the physiological water regulation of the skin is impaired. ~This leads to high transepidermal water losses. ~As a consequence of this, the skin becomes dry and loses its smoothness. ~Finally, with a severe PUFA deficiency, cracks develop in the skin and wound healing is delayed. ~Irregularities in the keratin structure of the skin then result from this. ~Unorganized epidermal layers are the consequence. ~The skin is damaged. Of the unsaturated fatty acids, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), as contained, for example, in Borage, Evening Primrose, and Kukui Nut Oils, is of special importance for beauty care. PUFAs should be used in day and night creams, body lotions, shampoos, sun care products and as a constituent of anti-wrinkle creams. A dosage of 0.25% - 1.25% GLA is recommended for skin care products. EVENING PRIMROSE OIL AS LOW AS $5.00 PER POUND! KUKUI NUT OIL AS LOW AS $8.50 PER POUND!
