Science
Mechanism of Action
As an emollient, Dipropylene Glycol Caprylate forms a fine film on the skin's surface, which assists in reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and promoting a smoother, more supple skin feel. Its role as a skin conditioning agent further contributes to the skin's overall softness and improved aesthetic.
