		Human sebum is a mixture of triglycerides, fatty acids, wax esters, squalene, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters.
		The objective of this study was to examine the physical state of a model sebum and the effect of variations in its composition on its physical properties including (a) the carbon chain length of the components, (b) the ratio of unsaturated to saturated components, and (c) the ratio of triglycerides to fatty acids.
		Considering a reduction in Mp-3 and/or Mp-4 to represent sebum "fluidization," it was achieved by a decrease in carbon chain length, an increase in unsaturation, or a substitution of triglycerides by corresponding fatty acids.

	Skin secretions, sebum by Hippocrates
		Sebum changes during acne and one of the goals of any acne treatment is to control sebum.
		Sebum is formed in sebaceous glands by decomposition of lipid-containing cells.
		Several pieces of evidence support the concept that a high level of sebum secretion from sebaceous follicles is a contributing cause of acne vulgaris.

		Sebum is composed of triglycerides, wax, sterol esters and squalene.
		Sebum is produced in the acinar cells of sebaceous glands, accumulates as those cells age and migrates towards the center of the gland.
		Formation of sebum is regulated by a variety of hormones that act primarily to regulate the rate of lipid metabolism.

		The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum that is made of fat (lipids) and the debris of dead fat-producing cells.
		The functions of sebum are to reduce water loss from the skin surface, keeping the skin from becoming dry, brittle, and cracked and to protect the skin from infection by bacteria and fungi.
		There is a clear relation between the severity of acne and the sebum secretion rate and it is clear from the successful results of acne suffers using Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) that reducing the production of sebum eliminates acne.

	Control the sebum (oil) of your skin. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In order to fight and control acne the amount and control of sebum (oil) on the skin must be taken into account, since it will impact on the progress or control of skin problems and acne.
		These combined actions cause more oil (sebum) to be present - but an excess of sebum, combined with hyperkeratinization, can cause a blockage in the follicle.
		So the reason is clear that excessive oil flow, and over-production of the sebaceous glands, has to be curtailed to some extent to prevent acne forming, yet this must be done in such a fashion so as not to cause a drying out effect - which could cause other skin problems.

		However, when excess sebum is produced, it accumulates in the follicles rather than spilling out onto the surface of the skin.
		Therefore, large volumes of sebum cannot pass through the follicles to the surface of the skin at the rate the sebum is produced.
		Instead, sebum becomes trapped in the follicles, where it mixes with dead skin cells, forms sticky plugs that block the pores, and prevents sebum from reaching the surface of the skin.
