Palmitoleic acid (C16:1), which is found in the skin, improves absorption and spreads well.
-
Well suited for use on dry, rough and sensitive skin; has a smoothing and regenerating effect on the skin

The oleic acid (omega-9, C18:1) allows cosmetic agents to penetrate deep into the skin and has a fluidising effect.
