Science

This ingredient operates on several fronts: it stabilizes emulsions, ensuring product consistency, and serves as a solvent for other components. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties contribute to product preservation. On the skin, it acts as a film-forming polymer, which improves both the binding and retention of moisture, thereby boosting hydration and enhancing the product's aesthetic feel. Furthermore, it exhibits synergistic activity with other preservatives and significantly improves the water-resistance of sunscreens.
