Science

Mechanism of Action

Polyquaternium-14, a quaternary ammonium compound, possesses a positive charge that enables it to ionically bond with the naturally negatively charged surfaces of the skin. This interaction helps to neutralize static charges and facilitates the formation of a continuous, adherent film. This film then contributes to a smoother and more lubricated skin surface, thereby improving overall skin texture.
