What Is Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)?
Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an omega-6 essential fatty acid found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and blackcurrant seed oil. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin barrier and supporting anti-inflammatory processes.
The body converts GLA into prostaglandins that help regulate inflammation and support skin health. Topical application helps strengthen the lipid barrier and soothe irritated, sensitive skin conditions.
