Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions as a biomimetic barrier repair agent by mimicking the natural cholesterol and sterol structure of the stratum corneum. Creates a water-repellent protective film that absorbs up to 50% of its weight in water, while its unique molecular structure integrates seamlessly with skin lipids to restore barrier integrity and enhance moisture retention.
