Synergistic ACTIVITY

Significant Active Lipids found in Oat® Lipid e

Properties BenefitCholesterol/

Sterols• Aid stratum corneum structure • Building skin structure

• Beneficially combine with ceramides and EFA’s

Ceramides • 40% of the lipid in the stratum corneum• Found in all four layers of the epidermis• Prevents dry skin dermatitis and aging

• Integral to the skin barrier• Reduce destructive enzyme activity• Prevent Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

Phospholipids • Phosphatidylcholine [PC] - essential inmembranes

• Phosphatidylethanolamine [PE]: - facilitator of protein deposition

• Binds water and acts as an moisturiser

• Maintains cell membrane structure

• Supports physiology of the skin

• Maybe progenitor of ceramide production

Linoleic Acid • Most abundant PUFA in human skin• Converts to Omega-3 fatty acids

• Decreases scaliness, TEWL and restores skin barrier

• Essential for the formation of the lamellar phase of the stratum corneum lipids

• Improves the skin barrier in EFA deficiency 9

Antioxidants

10

• Lipids protected by natural antioxidants

• Extremely rich in tocotrienols

Far more potent at combating oxidative stress in in-vivo studies

• Prevents UV induced peroxidation of skin lipids

• Enables Oat® Lipid e to stabiliseother oils in formulations
