Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient primarily acts as a skin conditioning agent. Similar to unsaponifiables from other botanical oils, it is understood to confer emollient benefits, help mitigate inflammatory responses, and support the skin's natural barrier function. These effects are attributed to the presence of beneficial compounds such as phytosterols and other bioactive lipids within the unsaponifiable fraction.
