Science
Mechanism of Action
Operating primarily as a film-forming agent, Hydrolyzed Rhizobian Gum creates an invisible, elastic layer upon application to the skin. This continuous film actively binds water, enhancing skin hydration and preventing transepidermal moisture loss. Its inherent elastic properties also contribute to a mechanical lifting effect, most noticeably in the eye contour area, while simultaneously improving the sensory aesthetics of formulations and potentially offering a slight cooling sensation from evaporative action.
