The present invention provides a composition comprising stearidonic acid (or an ester thereof) derived for example fromoil, and an additional lipid (derived for example fromoil) which enhances the pro-collagen effects of stearidonic acid. The composition is useful in reducing visible signs of aging of human or animal skin or a method of wound healing.

Composition for treatment of skin

The present invention ralates to compounds of formula (I): wherein R is hydrogen (H) or Calkyl; and X is defined such that &#x2014;NH&#x2014;(X)&#x2014;COOH is the residue of an amino acid, which amino acid may itself optionally be substituted at any pendant amino group thereof by a residue of a carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof; or a salt thereof. The use of these compounds, in particular as potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drugs, and their preparation are described

Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory amino acid derivatives, their preparation and use

Nervonic acid derivatives, their preparation and use

A composition comprising in the range of from 1 to 20% by weight of the total composition of an oil extracted from the seeds of Borignaceae, particularly E, plantagineum, has particular advantages over oils extracted from other seeds. The oil comprises in the range of from 5 to at least 20% stearidonic acid triglyceride and 80 or less to 95% other fatty acid triglycerides, by weight of the total fatty acids in the oil extract, which stearidonic acid or other fatty acid(s) may optionally have been converted to a derivative thereof, and optionally a physiologically acceptable carrier therefor. The compositions are particularly suited for oral or topical administration and are for dietary, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and healthcare use.
