Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient acts as a stable emollient, deeply moisturizing and refining the skin's surface. Its distinct oligomeric structure, featuring fatty acid repeat units connected by secondary ester linkages on the alkyl backbone, confers superior resistance to hydrolysis compared to traditional triglycerides. This molecular architecture enhances its ability to minimize transepidermal water loss and deliver a soft, smooth skin texture. Additionally, it offers inherent UV blocking properties and water resistance.
