RABBIT FAT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Rabbit fat functions as an emollient and occlusive agent, forming a protective barrier to reduce trans-epidermal water loss and support skin hydration. It contains fatty acids similar to human sebum, suggesting potential skin compatibility, though rendered animal fats may be comedogenic and possess a distinct scent.

Emollient Occlusive Skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

Rabbit fat functions primarily as an emollient and occlusive agent. Its composition of fatty acids, such as oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, closely mirrors those naturally present in human skin sebum. This allows it to create a protective surface barrier, effectively minimizing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and contributing to enhanced skin hydration and resilience.
