New beauty from within ingredient: Omega 7

The majority of the beauty supplement nowadays only focuses on ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. However, Omega is also the essential building blocks of our skin, hair and nail (Möller H., 2002). A lack of Omega can weaken our skin barrier, resulting in dry, loss of glow, irritated and sensitive skin.

Omegia®, our clinically-supported sea buckthorn oil formula, provides the complete Vegan Omega 3, 6, 7, 9 together with the natural beta-carotene and vitamin E. Sea Buckthorn oil was shown in a clinical study to improve skin hydration by 49%, skin elasticity by 26%, and reduce wrinkle by 9% in 3 months* (Yang et al., 2008). Moreover, there is another study showing that oral intake of sea buckthorn oil enhances the essential fatty acid in our skin, improving eczema symptoms in atopic dermatitis patients* (Yang, B., 1999).

Apart from acting as a building block of skin, the rare and novel Omega 7 has been discovered to have the following benefits on beauty:

1.     Collagen Synthesis* - Omega 7 increases collagen regeneration* through activating SIRT1 and inhibiting MMP-1 expressions (Song et al., 2018)

2.     Anti-inflammation* - A clinical trial shows that daily consumption of 220.5mg of Omega 7 can reduce C-Reactive Protein*, an inflammatory marker, by 44% in 1 month (Bernstein et al., 2014)

3.     Skin Lightening* - Omega 7 inhibits melanogenesis* by inhibiting tyrosinase, TRP-2, MITF expressions (Yoon et al., 2010)
