Science
Mechanism of Action
By deploying exogenous lipids that mimic the skin's natural lipid matrix, Coco-Rapeseedate reinforces the stratum corneum's barrier integrity. It effectively fills the gaps between skin cells to smooth the surface texture while creating an occlusive film that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and shields against environmental stressors.

Dusting Analysis
As a functional emollient rather than a bioactive powerhouse, Coco-Rapeseedate is typically utilized for its textural contributions and barrier-supporting properties. It is rarely 'dusted' as its inclusion levels are generally dictated by the desired viscosity and skin-feel of the final formulation.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Displays characteristic stability of fatty acid esters in lipid phases; while specific pH ranges for the ester itself are not widely documented, it is commonly formulated in neutral to slightly acidic emulsions.
