Science
Mechanism of Action
Integrates directly into the skin's lipid bilayer through its dominant linoleic acid (Omega-6) content, effectively reducing transepidermal water loss while restoring barrier function. Simultaneously provides cellular protection against oxidative stress through high concentrations of γ-tocopherol, which neutralizes free radicals and prevents lipid peroxidation damage.
