Science

Mechanism of Action

DIPENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAHYDROXYSTEARATE/TETRAISOSTEARATE creates a protective, occlusive film on the skin's surface. This barrier effectively minimizes transepidermal water loss, locking in essential moisture to maintain skin hydration, softness, and smoothness. As an emollient ester, it contributes to keeping the skin in optimal condition. Furthermore, it plays a critical role in cosmetic formulation by adjusting product viscosity to achieve desired application consistency.
