A Guide to our Phelityl Moisturizers: Healthy Skin with EFAs
Dr. Erno Laszlo has been credited with many skincare discoveries that remain both revolutionary and relevant decades later. One such discovery is Dr. Laszlo’s use of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) in topical creams.
What are Essential Fatty Acids and why does skin need them?
EFAs are a crucial component of the lipid barrier that protects skin’s surface. This barrier helps maintain skin hydration, promote elasticity, and prevent moisture loss. While the body naturally produces EFAs that play a key role in skin function and appearance, we start to make insufficient amounts of EFAs as we age, leading to a noticeable lack of moisture and firmness.
When this happens, we have to look to external sources to replenish skin’s nourishing EFAs. We can find them in vitamins high in Omega-3 and Omega-6, as well as topical creams. Dr. Laszlo’s own Phelityl Complex, found in our many Phelityl creams, remains an innovative, proprietary way of supporting skin’s protective barrier with Essential Fatty Acids.
What is the Phelityl Complex?
Dr. Laszlo professed that Essential Fatty Acids were manufactured by skin itself, and without EFAs, skin would diminish in moisture, glow, and vitality. His solution: creating the Phelityl Complex to help restore skin’s fatty acid shield. Our Phelityl Complex is a blend of EFAs and replenishing ingredients that help fortify skin’s protective barrier to lock in moisture and keep skin soft, supple, and plump.
