Mechanism of Action
This ingredient effectively binds water and oil components, facilitating the creation of gentle, well-spreading emulsions. On the skin, it contributes to hydration, helps maintain suppleness, and strengthens the skin's protective barrier against external aggressors. In hair care, it neutralizes electrostatic charges to reduce frizz and conditions hair, promoting ease of combing, softness, shine, and increased volume.
