Science
Mechanism of Action
Its sophisticated chemical structure, comprising a polyglycerol backbone with eight glycerin units precisely esterified with erucic, isostearic, and ricinoleic acids, forms a substantive yet non-occlusive film upon application. This film significantly enhances the skin's barrier function, minimizing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) to deliver profound moisturizing and emollient effects. Concurrently, its amphiphilic nature allows it to effectively stabilize immiscible oil and water phases within formulations.
