Scottish scientists have found that a part of some
seaweed fatty acids have the ability to efficiently
cleanse the skin Preventing the growth of bacteria that cause acne and acne formation. The composition of these fatty acids include Omega-3 and Omega-6. And now the scientists who made this discovery are already working to make algae-based cosmetic skin care.
Work carried out by the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling. In laboratory experiments, they found that the growth of bacteria Propionibacterium, causing the formation of acne and acne, blocked by fatty acids is not worse than the recognized cosmetic products containing ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
"Many fatty acids inhibit or kill bacteria, but we found that some of them are also able to prevent the growth of Propionibacterium, - said study author Dr. Andrew Desbois. - Fatty acids themselves are contained in our skin to protect it from penetration of undesirable bacteria . With the help of algae is the protection can be significantly strengthened. We have found that 6 different fatty acids seaweed have the greatest protective potential. "
Scientists hope in the near future to develop a skin lotion that will use the ability of fatty acids cleanse the skin Preventing the appearance of acne and acne. (READ MORE)
