Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, drawing and retaining moisture within the skin to deliver long-term hydration and create a barrier that minimizes water evaporation. As an emulsifier, it stabilizes product formulations, while its emollient properties condition, lubricate, and protect the skin, promoting a smoother feel.
