Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient primarily functions by lowering interfacial tension, facilitating the stable dispersion of immiscible phases such as oil and water to create homogenous emulsions. Its PEGylated structure, derived from avocado fatty acids, also contributes to skin conditioning by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby reducing transepidermal water loss and supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
