Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical oil primarily functions as an emollient, enhancing the skin's natural moisture barrier to effectively reduce transepidermal water loss and deliver profound hydration. Its composition, featuring a high content of monounsaturated oleic acid (42.00% – 56.00%) alongside a complex of vitamins (A, B, C, E), provides significant antioxidant defense, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties work to soothe irritation, minimize redness, and stimulate cellular regeneration, addressing concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, and regulating sebum production.
