It is one of the rare plant oils containing omega-6 and omega-3-fatty acids in an optimal physiological ratio. Blackcurrant seed oil is an excellent active ingredient for sensitive and ageing skin. It smooths fine lines, moisturizes, renews, and brightens the skin. Additionally, it soothes sensitive and irritated skin while providing protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Vitamin E and beta-carotene protect against damage caused by free radicals, and phytosterols strengthen cell membranes. Essential fatty acids support the skin’s natural functions.
