Summary

Emollient Film-forming Skin-conditioning Hair-fixing Antioxidant Collagen Stimulating

Science

Mechanism of Action

This copolymer operates by establishing a supple, cohesive, and continuous layer upon the skin and hair, which notably possesses water-binding attributes that result in a smooth, silky feel. Beyond its primary role as an emollient and film-former, it actively functions as an antioxidant, efficiently scavenging free radicals to mitigate visible signs of aging, brighten the complexion, and stimulate endogenous collagen production.
