Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by improving the surface appearance of dry or damaged skin, reducing flaking, and promoting a softer, more supple feel. In hair applications, it works as an antistatic agent and aids in combability, leaving hair smoother and more manageable. Its solvent properties allow it to integrate other ingredients effectively within a formulation, and it contributes to a desirable 'slip' during product application.
