Beauty Tips For Body Care
(Potential; one study)According to an article on NEA's siteIn contrast, olive oil, with its relatively low LA/OA ratio, can significantly damage the skin barrier and induce erythema by disrupting the lipid structure of the stratum corneum and inhibiting homeostasis.LA - linoleic acidOA - oleic acidNineteen adult volunteers with and without a history of atopic dermatitis were recruited into two randomized forearm-controlled mechanistic studies. The first cohort applied six drops of olive oil to one forearm twice daily for 5 weeks. The second cohort applied six drops of olive oil to one forearm and six drops of sunflower seed oil to the other twice daily for 4 weeks. The effect of the treatments was evaluated by determining stratum corneum integrity and cohesion, intercorneocyte cohesion, moisturization, skin-surface pH, and erythema. Topical application of olive oil for 4 weeks caused a significant reduction in stratum corneum integrity and induced mild erythema in volunteers with and without a history of atopic dermatitis.Study /haven't read, no access; it's possible to request PDF on Research Gate).It's just one study, though, from what I can see.Can comeone with access to the study and knowledge comment? This is beyond me and I'm curious. Particularly curious about how this translates to cosmetic formulas that use olive oil and hydrogenated olive oil. Can the fact it's not a stand-alone ingredient in many products mitigate the potential negative effects?Sorry if this is inane.
