Supports linoleic acid in membrane lipids
The pressed oil is mostly linoleic acid, with a relatively high smoke point, so it suits medium-to-high-heat stir-frying and baking. Used long term as a cooking oil, the body's linoleic acid intake rises, and the fatty-acid profile of skin and membrane lipids also shifts toward this 18-carbon dienoic acid.
Maintains lipids on the skin surface
When spread on the skin, this pale oil is the lipid phase; linoleic triglycerides stay on the stratum corneum and reduce cracking and tightness. Pressing takes the glycerides; the salad-oil taste is light, and people whose calves peel in winter often use it as surface lipid.
Which symptoms may ease?
Dry skin
The pressed oil is mostly linoleic acid, with a relatively high smoke point, so it suits medium-to-high-heat stir-frying and baking. Used long term as a cooking oil, the body's linoleic acid intake rises, and the fatty-acid profile of skin and membrane lipids also shifts toward this 18-carbon dienoic acid. People whose calves or cheeks feel tight and flaky more often notice moisture and less itch after several continuous weeks.
