Science
Mechanism of Action
This botanical oil acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin's surface while minimizing transepidermal water loss. Its composition is thought to facilitate integration into the skin's native lipid structures, thereby contributing to the maintenance of a healthy skin barrier. While specific studies are limited, related Raphia species oils contain beneficial compounds such as fatty acids, carotenoids, tocopherols (Vitamin E), and sterols, which are known to nourish the skin and provide antioxidant defense.
