SAFFLOWER OIL/PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS.

Valuable CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

This innovative ceramide-like lipid, often referred to as Omega 6 Ceramide, is derived from linoleic-rich safflower oil and specifically engineered to mimic the skin's natural barrier components. It significantly enhances skin cohesion and integrity, delivering potent soothing and reparative benefits for improved resilience and vitality. This ingredient actively reduces inflammation and supports the skin's ability to retain moisture.

Science

Mechanism of Action

SAFFLOWER OIL/PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS functions as a biomimetic ceramide, integrating seamlessly into the skin's lipid matrix. It is a stabilized linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) obtained through solvent-free enzymatic synthesis. By increasing cellular cohesion within the cutaneous barrier, it acts as the 'mortar' that binds skin cells, thereby strengthening the skin's defense mechanism. This action facilitates barrier repair, mitigates inflammation resulting from environmental stressors, and enhances skin firmness and elasticity by rebuilding the lipid matrix, ultimately reducing transepidermal water loss.
