The fats you put on your skin will directly impact the lipid composition of your cells. 💡

Most fancy store bought lotions are seed/nut based. Their use will add linoleic acid and skew the body's lipid profile towards Omega 6 dominance. 💮

The health conscience are keen to use more natural fats, like animal fats, instead of conventional lotions. 🧘‍♂️

Emu Oil is a favorite in the health crowd, but did you stop to think of it's lipid profile? Emu oil is compromised of 15-25% Omega 6 PUFA, of which nearly all of it is linoleic acid! This is on par wirh canola oil. 🚩🚩🚩

Throw the monogastric fats from birds/pigs into the trash. Keep it saturated. Either tallow or coconut oil. 🐮🥥

Skin is more complex than it seems, and separating facts from marketing is not easy. This 2024 article from BBC is a good overview but a bit skimpy on details:
