Science

Mechanism of Action

DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAHEPTANOATE/HEXACAPRYLATE/HEXACAPRATE operates primarily as an emollient by establishing a protective layer on the skin's surface, which effectively minimizes trans-epidermal water loss and enhances moisture retention. Its beneficial fatty acids act as a moisture reservoir for skin cells, promoting faster recovery of dry skin and improving the epidermal layer's fat content, leading to visibly softer skin. In formulations, it stabilizes oil and water phases as an emulsifier, controls viscosity, forms a film, acts as a plasticizer, and aids in the uniform dispersion of pigments.
