Blackcurrant seed oil / Cold pressed

Description

• Blackcurrant oil strengthens the skin’s protective function, prevents moisture loss and helps restore damaged skin.
• Thanks to its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), it helps reduce redness, irritation and inflammatory processes, making it ideal for skin prone to eczema, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
• Powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E and flavonoids protect skin cells from oxidative stress and premature aging caused by UV radiation and external aggressors.
• It has an anti-inflammatory effect, regulates sebum secretion, reduces clogged pores and contributes to a healthier appearance of the skin.
