Science
Mechanism of Action
Functioning primarily as an emollient, Diisocetyl Adipate lubricates the skin's surface, enhancing its texture and providing a refined, silky finish. Its molecular structure allows it to form a lightweight, non-occlusive barrier that aids in moisture retention, thereby supporting overall skin hydration. Additionally, it serves as an effective solvent for various other ingredients within cosmetic formulations.
