Summary

Anticaking Antioxidant Binding Emulsion Stabilising Plasticiser Skin Conditioning Surfactant - Cleansing UV Absorber

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient provides robust antioxidant protection through its tocopheryl (Vitamin E) component, which actively neutralizes free radicals to mitigate oxidative stress on the skin. The engineered polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) chains optimize the solubility and stability of the tocopherol, enhancing its compatibility across diverse cosmetic formulations. Additionally, it contributes to skin conditioning, stabilizes emulsions, and exhibits surfactant properties.
