Summary

Emollient Emulsifying Skin Conditioning Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by improving skin hydration and texture, acting as a skin conditioning agent to reduce flakiness and enhance elasticity in dry or damaged skin. As an emollient, it smooths and softens the skin's surface. In formulations, it serves as an emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil mixtures by lowering interfacial tension, and as a surfactant, it facilitates gentle cleansing.
