Emollient Humectant Solvent Emulsifier Spreading Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as a humectant by actively drawing moisture from the environment into the skin, thereby boosting hydration without imparting a sticky or oily sensation. It also contributes to the formation of a lightweight, protective layer on the skin's surface. Functioning as a solvent, it aids in dissolving challenging ingredients within formulations and can effectively break down oil and dirt in cleansers, all while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Furthermore, it improves the stability and clarity of emulsions as an emulsifier and spreading agent.
