Summary:
Fatty acids are characterised by a wide variety of structures and properties. Their functions and the effects of their metabolites in and on the skin are correspondingly diverse. They range from physical protection to local hormonal effects. In addition to the biochemistry of the fatty acids in the epidermis, synergistic influences of the skin microbiome play a major role in physiologically intact skin.
