Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a cationic polymer, exhibiting a natural affinity for the negatively charged surfaces of the skin. Upon application, it forms a cohesive polymeric film that effectively reduces static charges and establishes a physical barrier. This barrier is crucial in minimizing moisture evaporation from the skin's surface and imparting a conditioned feel.
