Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a lipid-like mimetic, sharing structural similarities with Tetramethylhexadecenyl succinoyl cysteine (TSC). Its primary mechanism involves potent antioxidant action, specifically neutralizing free radicals and blocking pathways of skin damage and inflammation triggered by environmental stressors such as UV exposure and atmospheric pollution. This fortification helps to maintain skin integrity and mitigate premature aging.
