Linola (Unsaturated Fatty Acids (C18 : 2))

C18:2 provides linoleic acid, an essential component of the lipid matrix in the stratum corneum. By integrating into skin cell membranes, it replenishes lipid lamellae, boosts ceramide production, and strengthens barrier cohesion, which together lower transepidermal water loss and support skin hydration.

The exact amount and frequency of Linola application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the affected area once or twice daily, but the prescriber may adjust the regimen based on the severity of the skin condition.

Safety data for Linola in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss use with their physician, who can weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks before recommending the product.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Linola product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.

Linola’s key distinction is its content of unsaturated fatty acids (C18:2), which actively replenish lipid components of the skin barrier rather than merely providing surface moisturization. Compared with simple occlusive moisturizers, Linola may offer better barrier repair and longer‑lasting hydration for dry or mildly inflamed skin.

Store Linola at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use to maintain stability.

Clean and gently pat the affected skin area dry. Apply a thin, even layer of Linola to the target region and massage lightly until fully absorbed. Follow the frequency and duration advised by the prescriber, and avoid applying to open wounds or severely damaged skin.

Although rare, serious adverse reactions can include allergic contact dermatitis, angioedema, or systemic hypersensitivity such as severe urticaria or anaphylaxis. Users should discontinue the product immediately and seek medical attention if they experience swelling, widespread rash, or difficulty breathing.

Linola should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to unsaturated fatty acids or any of the product’s excipients. It is also not recommended for application on broken, infected, or severely compromised skin without prior medical advice.
