Abstract

The present invention provides a composition comprising stearidonic acid (or an ester thereof) derived for example from Echium oil, and an additional lipid (derived for example from calendula oil) 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.
