Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical wax functions as an emollient, creating a superficial protective barrier that effectively reduces transepidermal water loss and optimizes skin hydration. It is also believed to provide antioxidant defense against environmental stressors, exert calming and soothing effects, and potentially enhance skin elasticity while mitigating the appearance of wrinkles. Furthermore, the presence of tannins suggests astringent properties, contributing to skin purification and improved complexion, alongside reported antimicrobial activity.
