Science

Mechanism of Action

Polyglyceryl-3 Sorbityl Glycyrrhetinate exerts its beneficial effects through a dual mechanism. Its glycyrrhetinic acid component, derived from licorice root, provides notable anti-inflammatory and calming properties, effectively reducing redness and irritation. Concurrently, the polyglycerin-3 segment acts as an emollient, supplying exogenous lipids to fortify the skin barrier, filling intercellular gaps to improve moisture retention, and significantly reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Furthermore, polyglycerin-3 functions as a humectant, actively drawing and retaining atmospheric moisture within the superficial layers of the skin, leading to a smoother and refreshed complexion.
