Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a key agent in skin
repair because of its ability to decrease the production
of inflammatory agents, specifically the enzyme COX2.
Unfortunately, CLA is prone to oxidation and can lose
its potency in its natural, free form as well as result in
malodor. Ceramide, palmitic acid, and cholesterol are
the other functional ingredients that promote healing.
These lipids rebuild the skin, enhance barrier
properties, and regulate the skin’s ability to hold
moisture.
