Lipid Class (%) composition in Oat Lipid e
Linoleic Acid in Oat Lipid e
• LA is one of the most significant lipids for the maintenance of barrier function
• Decreases scaliness and TEWL (improved barrier)
• LA is essential for the formation of the lamellar phase of the stratum corneum lipids
• LA, are important for the maintenance of the surface “acid mantle,” which, in turn, seems important for both the integrity of the permeability barrier and stratum corneum cohesion
• LA-rich oils have been shown to improve the skin barrier in EFA deficiency
