Fatty acids play an essential biochemical role in maintaining the integrity and permeability balance of the stratum corneum, the skin’s outermost barrier.

As key components of the intercellular lipid matrix, alongside ceramides and cholesterol, fatty acids regulate transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by forming organized lamellar structures that prevent excess evaporation while allowing controlled moisture exchange.

Their presence is vital for barrier cohesion, elasticity, and hydration retention, ensuring the skin remains supple and functionally resilient. French Oak Extract contributes additional support through its rich concentration of polyphenols and ellagitannins, which exhibit potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

These molecules help stabilize barrier lipids by neutralizing reactive oxygen species that degrade structural proteins and fatty acids, thereby preserving the lipid matrix that governs TEWL.

Together, fatty acids and French Oak Extract work synergistically to enhance the hydration of the stratum corneum, reinforce barrier function, and maintain an optimal microenvironment for cellular night time repair and renewal.
