Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by creating a protective film on the skin, which effectively reduces transepidermal water loss, thereby boosting hydration and reinforcing the skin's inherent barrier capabilities. As an emulsifier, it stabilizes oil-in-water systems, and as a solubilizer and carrier, it can enhance the absorption and stability of other active compounds. Additionally, it provides emollient properties and may contribute mild anti-inflammatory effects.
