Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by forming a conditioning film on the skin's surface, acting as an emollient to impart a soft and smooth feel. As a triester derived from glycerin, it supports skin hydration by enhancing the skin barrier and reducing trans-epidermal water loss, contributing to a non-greasy, refined skin texture.
