Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates by forming a film on the skin's surface, acting as a humectant to attract and bind water, thus preventing moisture loss and maintaining skin hydration. Its quaternary ammonium structure also contributes to its conditioning and antistatic properties, making it effective for improving the texture and feel of the skin.
