Skin Omegas+

Are Skin Omegas+ suitable for all skin types?

Yes – they are suitable for all skin types: normal, dry, sensitive, oily, problem-prone and sensitive skin.

Are Skin Omegas+ sourced from sustainable fish oil?

We source our omega-3 fish oils from a specific supplier: Epax® who are a pioneering, sustainable name in the industry. They were the first ingredient company to be awarded Friend of the Sea (FOS) certification for “documented, traceable and sustainable operations”.

As well as sharing our environmental ethos, Epax® is dedicated to superior standards in terms of purity of ingredients. All their oils are certified by the Global Organization for EPA and DHA (GOED) standards which means not only compliance but also exceeding the strict targets set by governments in terms of contaminants, heavy metal levels (for example Mercury) and fishing practices.

Skin Omegas+ uses sustainably sourced fish oil which has been caught off the coast of Peru adhering to Friends of the Seas standards. This prevents over-fishing and guarantees the fishing methods used are sustainable and in line with conservation efforts. Only certified boats can be used and must be declared, meaning we have full traceability.

Fishing nets used are all FOS approved and never reach the sea floor so cause no damage to the ocean beds. In addition, these standards ensure that accidental catches must not include animals listed in the red list of endangered species as “vulnerable” or “higher risk”.

Do I need to be worried about the amount of vitamin A in the Skin Omegas+?

The amount of vitamin A contained in 2 softgels (recommended daily amount) is 400 IU’s (international units) or 120 µg (micrograms). This level is well within the Nutrient Reference Value for the UK.

Are Skin Omegas+ safe to take during pregnancy?

Yes they are. It is always good to inform your midwife or medical advisor of any food supplements that you are taking during your pregnancy.

How long do I take a supplement before deciding if it works or not?

This is a complex question and can involve many factors that affect the outcome. To simplify, every person is unique and individual so results will vary from person to person. As a general rule we find that people start to notice a difference around 12 weeks (based on our in-house studies done in our Skin Research Centre). For some supplements it may be quicker, for example with our Skin Omegas+ and Skin Youth Biome™ individuals have noticed a result within 7 days.

What is the difference between your Omega 3 food supplement and the Skin Omegas+ food supplement?

Skin Omegas+ contain omega 3, omega 6, vitamin A and GLA from evening primrose oil. Omega 3 food supplements just contain Omega 3.

What happens if I forget to take them?

Just continue taking the recommended daily dose as normal. There is no need to compensate for missed capsules. It’s okay to take all of your capsules in the evening if you forget in the morning.
