additional info

Phosphatidylcholine can be used in either an unsaturated or a saturated form, each with different effects on the skin. Unsaturated Phosphatidylcholine (PC) helps deliver Linoleic Acid (Omega 6 and 3) into the skin barrier, aiding in the recovery of skin conditions and strengthening the skin barrier. Saturated Phosphatidylcholine (PC-H) stabilizes the skin barrier, aids in skin regeneration, supports the barrier function, prevents TEWL, and keeps the skin soft and supple.
