Science
Mechanism of Action
Acts as a fragrance modifier providing distinctive scent profiles while maintaining low skin penetration rates. In specialized applications, forms copolymer membranes that regulate the controlled release and passive diffusion of active compounds through the skin barrier via zero-order kinetics.
