| Résumé : |
Lingonberry seed oil produced via supercritical CO2-extraction is exceptionally high in essential -linolenic (18:3n-3) and linoleic (18:2n-6) acids, and in -tocotrienol with strong antioxidant activity.
The effect of orally administered lingonberry seed oil on the skin was studied in 30 women who consumed 2 g of lingonberry seed oil daily as capsules for three months. Skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, echogenicity (reflecting skin density), and the colour of hyper-chromatic skin spots were measured instrumentally at the beginning of, during, and at the end of the intervention. Over the course of the lingonberry seed oil intervention, there was a significant (p<0.05) improvement in skin hydration, elasticity, and density, and the roughness of the skin decreased from baseline to end. In conclusion, this study suggests that regular intake of CO2-extracted lingonberry seed oil improves the skin’s hydration and induces skin changes that can be described as anti-ageing. |
