Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions primarily as a fragrance ingredient that delivers a rich, woody, and orris-like aroma to skincare formulations. Its high lipophilicity (Log Pow > 6) allows for excellent skin adhesion and prolonged scent retention, while encapsulation technology enables controlled spatio-temporal release for sustained fragrance delivery.
