Moisturizing Soothing Hair conditioning agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient is hypothesized to act as a moisturizer by leveraging the jade plant's inherent ability to store water within its leaves, thereby contributing to skin hydration. Phytochemical analysis of Crassula ovata (formerly Crassula argentea) reveals constituents such as terpenoids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Flavonoids, in particular, are considered potential contributors to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; however, direct evidence supporting significant soothing action of the leaf water in skin is limited.
