Science
Mechanism of Action
Utilizes a unique lactone ring structure to integrate with surface proteins and lipids, forming a biomimetic film. This physical reinforcement stabilizes the lipid bilayer, effectively locking in moisture while preventing the ingress of external irritants.

Key findings
- 01 Clinical trials conducted by Shanghai Jahwa and Ruijin Hospital involving over 5,000 subjects demonstrated that this ingredient, as part of Phyto-bionic Sebum (PBS) technology, significantly reduces transepidermal water loss and alleviates symptoms of clinical skin sensitivity.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because it is often used as part of a specialized technological complex (PBS), it is frequently included at therapeutic levels (1-5%) in barrier repair formulations; concentrations below 0.5% may not provide the intended bionic shielding effect.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable in lipid-rich, waxy emulsions; however, it is susceptible to hydrolysis in highly acidic environments (low pH).
Synergies
- Phytosterols
