Science
Mechanism of Action
This succinate ester operates by creating a thin, occlusive yet non-greasy barrier on the skin's surface, which significantly contributes to increased suppleness and sustained hydration by minimizing moisture evaporation. Beyond its emollient properties, it effectively serves as a solvent, facilitating the integration and dispersion of other lipid-soluble components in a formula.
