Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through its hydroxyl groups to bind water molecules to the skin's surface, enhancing moisture retention and supporting the skin's natural moisturizing factor. The glucoside structure provides stable hydration while the allyloxyethoxy chain contributes to improved skin feel and penetration characteristics.
