Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency

Healthy skin starts at the cellular level, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) are a key building block. These vital lipids strengthen cell membranes, support the skin barrier, and help lock in moisture. Without enough EFAs, the skin struggles to retain water, leading to dryness, irritation, and conditions often mistaken for dehydration. EFAD (Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency) is linked to barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and flakiness, making it a major contributor to skin disorders. While topical skincare plays a critical role, true skin health requires both internal and external support. dermaviduals® harnesses the power of bio-identical essential fatty acids to reinforce the skin barrier, regulate cornification, and improve moisture retention—helping skin stay resilient, balanced, and healthy.
