Science
Mechanism of Action
Strengthens the skin's lipid barrier through re-lipidization processes while triterpene esters inhibit inflammatory mediators and stimulate fibroblast proliferation. Phytosterols and tocopherols provide antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. Triterpene cinnamates absorb UV radiation in the 250-300nm range, offering natural photoprotection.
