Science

Mechanism of Action

Operating as a dual-action agent, POLYGLYCERYL-4 MACADEMIA SEEDATE deeply conditions the skin through its emollient capabilities. It actively fortifies the epidermal barrier, significantly improves hydration levels, and reduces transepidermal water loss, while also providing a protective effect against potential inflammation. Furthermore, its surfactant properties enable the creation of homogenous, stable oil-in-water emulsions.
