Primary

Nourish dry mucosa

Fruit-oil omega-7 palmitoleic acid enters mucosal epithelial lipids; trials often watch vaginal or ocular-surface dryness scores. People in dry air whose mouth, nose, and eyes dry together more often notice lubricating comfort after several continuous weeks. Omega-7 travels mucosal lipids, so mouth, nose, and eyes often moisten together.

Primary

Repair the skin lipid barrier

Carotenoids and fruit oil enter stratum-corneum metabolism together. People who flake and crack at the lips at season change more often notice skin softness after several continuous weeks. The stratum corneum takes weeks to renew; healing lip cracks is an earlier signal. This sea-buckthorn path is easier to match with everyday sensations after several continuous days to weeks.
