When we talk about skincare, we often think of vitamins, antioxidants, or hydration. But did you know that fatty acids are at least as important for healthy skin?
In fact, without the right fatty acids, your skin cannot properly perform its most important task. And that task is simpler than you might think: to protect you.
At Self, we believe that healthy skin starts with a strong skin barrier. And fatty acids play a major role in this.
Factors such as cold, sun, frequent washing, or sensitive skin can weaken the skin barrier. Your skin loses moisture faster and can feel dry, tight, or more sensitive.
This is often a sign that your skin needs support for its natural lipid layer.
Two fatty acids play an important role in healthy skin:
You can find these fatty acids in argan oil, macadamia oil, and shea butter, among others.
At Self, we deliberately choose ingredients that are naturally rich in skin-friendly fatty acids, such as:
These ingredients help nourish and protect the skin and support the natural recovery of the skin barrier.
Healthy skin doesn't always need more, but often the right support. Fatty acids help your skin retain moisture, stay supple, and be more resistant to daily influences.
That's why they form the basis of so many Self-formulas. Because a strong skin barrier is and remains the key to balanced skin.
