10 Benefits of MCT Oil
MCT Oil Benefit #2: Skin Health
Lipids are necessary components of the skin and play a crucial role in the skin’s function as a barrier against the external environment. Studies have found that MCT oil in particular can improve the moisture and lipid content of the skin by providing fatty acids.
Furthermore, ultraviolet (UV) light exposure damages the elastin fibers holding skin cells together. Over time, the skin loses its youthful strength as elastin breaks down, causing the skin to sag and stretch. It has been shown that MCT oil is as effective as some sunscreens in blocking the sun’s UV rays.
