Science

Mechanism of Action

This precision-engineered ester functions by closely resembling human sebum in structure, allowing it to act as an effective occlusive agent that strengthens the skin barrier and aids in regulating natural oil production. It significantly lowers surface tension in cosmetic formulations, facilitating even product distribution. Additionally, it serves as a secondary emulsifier and solubilizer for fragrance oils in aqueous solutions, while also possessing viscosity-adjusting properties, ensuring balanced and moisturized skin.
