Mechanism of Action
PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL AMIDES/ESTERS operates through a dual mechanism. On hair, it acts as a conditioning agent, facilitating detangling, improving suppleness, imparting softness, and contributing to shine and volume. For the skin, it functions as an emollient, softening and smoothing the skin's surface, and as a humectant, drawing and retaining moisture to optimize hydration levels and maintain overall skin condition.
