Science
Mechanism of Action
This oil acts on the skin through multiple pathways: Polysaccharides provide deep hydration and enhance the skin's natural barrier. Fatty acids contribute to skin nourishment and reinforce the lipid barrier. Phenolic compounds offer antioxidant protection against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors. Furthermore, its vitamin E content aids in skin repair and safeguards against free radical damage. The oil also creates a surface barrier, effectively locking in moisture and delivering soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin.
