Science

Mechanism of Action

This potent oil exerts its effects through several key pathways. Its pronounced anti-inflammatory properties are primarily attributed to high levels of Ximenynic Acid, complemented by alpha-bisabolol and beta-santalene. As a highly moisturizing and emollient agent, it deeply nourishes the skin, aiding in the maintenance of skin structure and enhancing elasticity. The presence of Omega-9 Oleic Acid contributes to its high antioxidant content and regenerative capabilities.
