Science
Mechanism of Action
As an alkyl ester, Erucyl Arachidate operates by forming a non-occlusive, protective film on the stratum corneum. This barrier physically impedes transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby enhancing skin hydration, promoting suppleness, and improving overall tactile smoothness.
