- Eczema (it is condition that causes skin to become inflamed)
- Rosacea (skin disorder that effects skin on face. It causes redness in cheeks, nose and forehead)
- Acne
- Psoriasis (skin disorder that produces red plaques covered with silvery scales)
- Allergies
- Reduces joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis
- Improves skin's general condition such as elasticity, inflammations
Causes Of Skin Problems:
- Modern way of life
- Hormonal changes
- Diet
- Irritants
Indications :
- It is useful in eczema, acne, psoriasis
- Helps in controlling inflammation such as rosacea, joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis
- Moisturizes the skin
- Reduces the redness on skin
- Makes the skin more elastic
- It reduces the allergic reactions
- It rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin
- Helps the formation of new cell thus speeding up the healing
Rationale of Combination:
This combination works synergistically. The vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that prevents fatty acid of primrose oil from degradation. The vitamin E and primrose oil gives better outcome in curing skin conditions and also increases the use of essential fatty acids present in primrose oil.
Evening Primrose Oil:
- It is extracted from seeds of evening primrose oil
- It contains linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linoleic acid (GLA) which are omega-6-fatty acids. Both are important component of myelin which is a protection coating around nerve tissues
- Omega-6 is not naturally made in the body so it should be supplied in form of supplements
- Omega-6 plays an important role in cell structure, regulating hormones, nerve function and promotes skin elasticity
Mechanism of Action:
GLA (gamma linoleic acid)
↓
DGLA (dihydro gamma linoleic acid)
↓
PGE 1 (prostaglandins)
Prostaglandin is a hormone that suppresses inflammation. Prostaglandin is not secreted from any gland. The prostaglandins mainly perform the role of healing.
↓
DGLA (dihydro gamma linoleic acid)
↓
PGE 1 (prostaglandins)
- The GLA (gamma linoleic acid) is converted into prostaglandin which is used to suppress the inflammation such as acne, rosacea, eczema and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis
- Neuropathy (It is defined as a problem with nerves that causes weakness in hand and feet) might be cured with EPO (evening primrose oil)
Vitamin E:
- Vitamin E is lipid soluble most abundant antioxidant
- It mainly protects and repair the skin
- It is a agent that mainly neutralizes the free radicals , the free radicals are molecules that damage collagen and causes skin dryness
- It is highly efficient antioxidant that reduce the possibility of skin disorder by protecting the cell membrane from damage
Mechanism of Action:
Vitamin E
↓
Penetrates into membrane of skin cells
↓
Accumulates there to protect against damaging effects of lipid peroxidation
Vitamin E plays an important role in maintaining barrier function of skin and enhances penetration and resorption of lipids.↓
Penetrates into membrane of skin cells
↓
Accumulates there to protect against damaging effects of lipid peroxidation
