Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient is a naturally transesterified jojoba oil, engineered for water solubility while preserving the simulating, hydrating, structural, and active properties of native jojoba oil. It acts as a non-ionic surfactant, emulsifier, and co-emulsifier, demonstrating excellent dermal compatibility. It delivers smoothness, tonicity, and nutrition to the skin. By mimicking the skin's natural waxes, it enhances elasticity and provides protection against transepidermal moisture loss. It may also contribute to sebum balance, fostering a more harmonious complexion. Containing Provitamin A and Vitamin E, it offers antioxidative benefits. Its linear wax esters are believed to fluidize sebaceous lipids, potentially optimizing the penetration of other lipophilic active ingredients and reinforcing the skin's natural protective features.
