Science
Mechanism of Action
Creates a hydrophobic protective barrier on skin's surface while acting as a molecular bridge between inorganic pigments and the formula matrix. The anionic charge enables superior dispersion of mineral UV filters, while the silicone backbone forms cohesive films that resist water penetration and prevent product migration.
