Science
Mechanism of Action
This olive oil-derived ester significantly improves skin feel by providing light spreadability and high smoothness, mimicking the sensory properties of silicone oils without the associated oily residue. It establishes a protective, water-repellent layer on the skin's surface, which demonstrably reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and maintains critical hydration levels, leading to softer, smoother skin.
