Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by facilitating the removal of impurities and by stabilizing the oil and water phases within emulsion-based products. Its inherent nature as a cholesterol derivative implies its ability to integrate into the skin's lipid matrix, thereby aiding in the regulation of skin permeability and contributing to overall skin barrier integrity, mirroring the actions of naturally occurring cholesterol components.
