Blackcurrant seed oil contains a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and the rare stearidonic acid. The latter has exceptionally good anti-inflammatory properties, which especially benefit oily, blemished, and sensitive skin conditions.
The valuable, mild, and well-tolerated blackcurrant seed oil also helps stabilize the skin’s barrier layer, aiding in moisture retention.
