Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as an emulsifier by reducing the interfacial tension between immiscible phases due to its balanced lipophilic and hydrophilic structure, creating stable emulsions. As a skin conditioning agent, it acts as an emollient, delivering essential lipids that smooth and soften the skin's surface. Polyglycerol esters like this one are known to improve skin hydration and support the integrity of the natural skin barrier function.
