Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by adsorbing onto surfaces, such as hair or potentially the skin's stratum corneum, creating a thin film. This film helps to neutralize static electrical charges, which contributes to reduced frizz and enhanced manageability in hair. On skin, this film-forming attribute is theoretically inferred to promote a smoother texture and decrease surface friction, optimizing the skin's tactile characteristics.
