Summary

Emollient Emulsifier Skin-Conditioning Agent Solubilizer Mildness Additive Surfactant Counter-irritant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by providing a gentle emollient effect, which helps to hydrate the skin and minimize transepidermal water loss. As a surfactant and emulsifying agent, it effectively blends diverse formulation components. Notably, it acts as a counter-irritant, mitigating potential irritation from other ingredients like SLS, reducing redness (erythema), and supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
