Valuable CAS 94134-83-5 / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

Summary

emollient skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient works by creating a protective, occlusive layer on the skin's surface. This barrier effectively reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby modifying the condition of dry or damaged skin by mitigating flaking and enhancing dermal elasticity, contributing to a softer and smoother complexion.
