Why Your Skin Needs More Fat From Vitamin FThe ABC's of skin care don't end at E |
Vitamin F can be found in almost every product type, including serums, moisturizers and even sheet masks. Guanche says fatty acids are best delivered topically through oil-based or fat-based (lipophilic) products rather than water-based ones. Like tricky vitamin C, vitamin F must be stable and remain active in its container for the best results. Products also need to penetrate skin as opposed to just sitting on top of it.

Vitamin F is not a new ingredient by any means. Goldfaden says that it has been used for many years in skin care formulations. The renewed interest can be attributed to our desire to know all aspects of health and beauty and what goes into our products. It helps that healthy fats are all the rage right now.
