Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient establishes a protective, non-comedogenic film upon the skin's surface, effectively slowing water evaporation and maintaining optimal hydration levels. This occlusive action supports skin elasticity, imparts a smooth texture, and strengthens the skin's natural barrier against external aggressors. Concurrently, its molecular structure allows it to bind disparate oil and water phases, serving as a functional emulsifier within cosmetic systems.
