What Ruttnera Lamellosa Oil is & what it does
Ruttnera Lamellosa Oil is an oil derived from Ruttnera lamellosa, a marine microalga. As an algae-sourced lipid it is generally used in cosmetic and sunscreen formulas as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent that adds softness and slip. Microalgal oils are notable for their content of long-chain fatty acids that can differ from common plant oils.
