Abstract

Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body and is abundantly found in various natural sources such as candlenut, sunflower seeds, almonds, and chia seeds. This compound is known to possess significant biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging properties, as well as supporting skin regeneration and hair growth. This review aims to explore the potential of linoleic acid as an active ingredient in the formulation of body care and skincare products. Literature searches were conducted through Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using relevant keywords, with inclusion criteria encompassing the chemical properties, pharmacological benefits, and cosmetic applications of linoleic acid. The results of the review indicate that linoleic acid has been utilized in various dosage forms, including hair tonics, anti-acne creams, hand body lotions, lip balms, emulgels, facial serums, masks, and hair emulsions to support the hair growth process. Its effectiveness is highly influenced by the concentration of the active ingredient and the formulation type used. This review supports the utilization of linoleic acid as a promising and sustainable natural active ingredient in the modern cosmetic industry. Further research is needed to optimize formulations and comprehensively evaluate the safety of these preparations.
