Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by several mechanisms: it actively inhibits sebum production, making it effective for oil control. As a humectant, it attracts and retains moisture within cosmetic formulations, promoting skin hydration. Furthermore, it functions as a skin conditioning agent by softening and smoothing the skin, providing emollient benefits, and offers protective properties. Its surfactant nature enables it to reduce surface tension for efficient cleansing, generate foam, and stabilize oil-in-water mixtures as an emulsifier.
