Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates through a dual-action mechanism. The Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil (marula oil) component, rich in oleic, palmitic, and linoleic fatty acids, alongside potent antioxidants like Vitamin E, deeply moisturizes, softens skin, and significantly minimizes transepidermal water loss. Its free radical-neutralizing properties contribute to mitigating environmental skin damage. Concurrently, the Polyglyceryl-10 Esters component expertly facilitates the formation of stable emulsions, ensuring uniform product consistency while providing additional skin-softening benefits.
