The Science Behind the Omega Numbers

and why it matters in skincare formulation

Terms like omega-3, 6, and 9 get thrown around a lot, but what actually is an omega and what do the numbers mean?

In this free workshop, we'll explore the science behind omega fatty acids and what they tell us about the oils we use in our skincare formulations.

  • What omega-3, 6, and 9 actually mean when we talk about skincare oils.
  • Why some oils are rich in omega-9 while others are dominated by omega-6 or omega-3.
  • How the fatty acid composition of an oil influences its properties and benefits for the skin.
  • Why understanding omega numbers can help you make more informed choices when selecting oils for your formulations.
