Summary

Emollient Moisturizing Hydrating Antioxidant Anti-aging Regenerating Repairing Soothing Anti-inflammatory Skin Barrier Support Masking

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operating primarily as an emollient, PRUNUS CERASUS SEED OIL actively softens and smooths the skin by preventing moisture loss and fortifying the natural lipid barrier, thereby reducing transepidermal water loss. Its rich composition of vitamins A and E, flavonoids, and other antioxidants delivers robust protection against free radicals and oxidative stress, directly contributing to delayed skin aging through collagen enhancement, accelerated cell turnover, and regeneration. Furthermore, the oil's phytosterols confer anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for irritated skin, while omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid) fatty acids support overall barrier integrity and vessel elasticity. The light, silky texture ensures rapid absorption without a greasy residue.
