Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient, a type of hydrogenated polydecene, functions by forming a lightweight, non-occlusive film on the skin's surface. This film effectively softens the skin, helps retain moisture, and improves overall skin condition. Furthermore, it aids in product formulation by controlling viscosity and acting as a solvent, and uniquely serves as a 'carrier' to potentially enhance the penetration of other active ingredients into the skin.
