Science

Mechanism of Action

Upon application, SILICONE QUATERNIUM-27 creates a pronounced viscoelastic and hydrophobic film on the skin's surface. This barrier effectively impedes the entry of external irritants into the stratum corneum and significantly reduces transepidermal water loss, maintaining skin hydration. Furthermore, it exhibits inherent UV-resistance and contributes to a non-greasy finish.
