Why are essential fatty acids (EFAs) so important for skin?
Your skin is largely made from fats. EFAs form the structure of healthy cell membranes and the protective lipid barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. When EFA intake is low, skin often becomes dry, sensitive, inflamed, congested, and slow to heal.
Because your body cannot produce EFAs, they must come from your diet.
Isn't fish oil enough for skin health?
This is one of the biggest myths. Fish oil supplies only the final three omega-3 fats in the omega family. These are excellent anti-inflammatories, but they cannot be converted into the specific structural fats your skin relies on to stay strong and hydrated.
Beauty+ Oil provides the full family of omega-3 and omega-6 fats your skin needs, including the foundational building blocks required for true skin repair and barrier strength. Thatโs why we recommend Beauty+ Oil for skin health and fish oil for overall wellbeing.
Understanding omega-6 and skin health
Omega-6 is essential for healthy skin. It plays a critical role in maintaining the skinโs barrier, hydration, elasticity, and repair. The confusion comes from modern diets, which often provide excessive omega-6 from highly processed industrial seed oils, without enough omega-3 to balance it. In that context, inflammation can occur.
Bestow Beauty+ Oil delivers omega-6 from whole, natural plant oils, alongside omega-3, in a near-ideal 1:1 ratio. This balanced approach supports the skinโs natural inflammatory pathways and helps promote calmer, stronger, more resilient skin.
Why choose oil instead of EFA capsules?
Oil is significantly more effective for skin nutrition. Beauty+ Oil is at least 8x more potent and more easily absorbed than standard EFA capsules. Liquid oils bypass many of the digestive limitations of capsules, delivering nutrients to your cells faster and in higher usable concentrations. It also allows you to consume the full therapeutic dose in a single daily serve.
How long before I see results?
Many people notice improved hydration, softness, and comfort within 2-3 weeks of daily use. Visible changes in tone, clarity, and glow typically appear within 6-8 weeks, as new skin cells are formed and supported by better nutrition.
Consistency is key and as each person is different, individual results cannot be guaranteed.
Is Beauty+ Oil suitable for sensitive or problem skin?
Yes. Beauty+ Oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and compromised skin. It is particularly beneficial for concerns such as acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, eczema-prone skin, dryness, flakiness, and dull or prematurely ageing skin.
How is Bestow Beauty+ Oil different from straight flaxseed oil?
Flaxseed oil is a valuable source of ALA (omega-3), but on its own it delivers only part of what skin needs. Healthy skin depends on a full network of essential fats, including multiple forms of omega-3 and omega-6, in the right balance.
Bestow Beauty+ Oil provides a more complete solution, delivering a full spectrum of skin-critical fats, including GLA and SDA, in a near-ideal 1:1 omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, alongside natural antioxidants for protection and repair.
Can I take Beauty+ Oil with other supplements or medications?
In most cases, yes. Beauty+ Oil is a wholefood, plant-based blend of essential fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamins that works harmoniously alongside other supplements and skincare routines. However, because essential fatty acids can support circulation and inflammation pathways, anyone taking prescription medications or managing a medical condition should check with their healthcare professional before starting Beauty+ Oil.
