What is vitamin F? Everything you need to know about its care properties
Vitamin F might seem like a vitamin, but it actually isn’t, at least not by the standard definition. In skin care, it represents linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid rich in omega-6. Fats, also called lipids, are extremely important for maintaining a strong, healthy stratum corneum. If the skin’s barrier function is working optimally, it will prevent aggressors from entering and causing water loss. F is made up of two essential fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, which together help regulate and promote the healthy functioning of our skin, playing a key role in the health of our skin.
