Science
Mechanism of Action
This seed butter functions primarily as an emollient and humectant, supporting skin and hair hydration by forming a protective layer that minimizes transepidermal water loss and by attracting moisture to the skin's surface. It also offers antimicrobial qualities and contributes to the overall conditioning of skin and hair, promoting a smoother, softer feel.
