Cucurbit oil is naturally high in essential fatty acids (LA) and contributes to the maintenance of optimal health. Since essential fatty acids and their metabolites are necessary to form the skin as a waterproof barrier, their deficiency can lead to scaly skin and moisture loss through the skin and eyes. Dietary supplementation with LA can reverse these symptoms, as LA makes up approximately 12% of the skin's fatty acids and is essential for maintaining skin structure and function. The formation of ceramides, lipids found in the outer epidermal layer responsible for water resistance, also depends on LA. In addition to its role in skin health, LA is an important energy source and can be metabolized to form other lipid molecules such as triglycerides and phospholipids. As a component of phospholipid membranes, LA helps maintain membrane fluidity to ensure proper cell function.
