Summary

Skin-Conditioning Agent Moisturizing Nourishing Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Sebum Balancing Elasticity Strengthening Collagen Promoting

Science

Mechanism of Action

The fermentation process significantly enhances the bioavailability of Argan oil's beneficial components, including skin-identical fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acid, which reinforce the skin's moisture barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss. Simultaneously, the yeast produces antioxidants and Vitamin E, crucial for neutralizing free radicals and supporting cellular integrity. This ingredient additionally exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, aids in balancing sebum production in oily complexions, and contributes to increased skin elasticity and collagen synthesis, supporting comprehensive skin health and resilience.
