Cucurbit oil naturally has a high content of LA essential fatty acids and contributes to the maintenance of optimal health. Since essential fatty acids and their metabolites are necessary to form the skin as a waterproof barrier, their deficiency can lead to scaly skin and loss of moisture through the skin and eyes. Dietary supplementation with LA can reverse these symptoms because LA makes up approximately 12% of the fatty acids in the skin, and it is essential for maintaining skin structure and function. The formation of ceramides, lipids found in the outer epidermal layer responsible for watertightness, also depends on LA. In addition to its role in skin health, LA is an important source of energy and can metabolize to form other lipid molecules such as triglycerides and phospholipids. As a component of phospholipid membranes, LA serves to maintain membrane fluidity to ensure proper cell function.
