About Linolenic Acid

Linolenic Acid is an unsaturated fatty acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help reduce static electricity that makes hair strands lift or cling together, allow sebum and impurities to be rinsed away with water, and reduce friction on the skin or hair while adding a smooth feel.[2] It is also used to reduce hair tangling and roughness for smoother conditioning, add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials, and leave the skin’s surface soft and smooth.[2] It is used to lower surface tension so raw materials can be wetted, mixed, and evenly dispersed.[2]
