Linola-Fett

Unsaturated Fatty Acids (C18:2), the active ingredient in Linola-Fett, is a nutritional supplement presented as a topical preparation for cutaneous use. It is intended to support skin barrier function and moisturisation in individuals with dry or compromised skin. The unsaturated fatty acid chain provides essential linoleic acid, which the epidermis cannot synthesize, helping to replenish lipid layers and reduce transepidermal water loss. Its topical application is designed for routine skin care and adjunctive therapy under professional guidance.

GNH USA supplies Linola-Fett as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier that serves hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and regulatory conformity.

Linola-Fett, containing unsaturated fatty acids, is applied to conditions affecting the skin barrier and moisture retention.

- Dry skin: helps restore the lipid barrier and reduces transepidermal water loss. - Mild eczema: supports barrier repair and may alleviate irritation and scaling. - Environmental skin irritation: provides moisturizing effect and promotes recovery of compromised epidermis.

Topical application of Linola-Fett may be associated with local skin reactions.
