Science

Mechanism of Action

Rubus Idaeus Leaf Wax functions primarily by forming a protective, occlusive barrier on the skin's surface, which minimizes transepidermal water loss and locks in moisture, resulting in softer, smoother skin. Beyond its emollient capabilities, it delivers calming and mild astringent effects. The wax is naturally rich in chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phytosterols, providing intrinsic antioxidant benefits, while its tannins and flavonoids offer toning and balancing properties for overall skin health.
