Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates by forming a superficial occlusive film on the skin's surface. This mechanism, characteristic of emollients, effectively reduces the rate of water evaporation from the epidermis, thereby aiding the skin in retaining its natural moisture and improving its overall tactile quality and suppleness.
