Skin Conditioning Humectant Film Former

Science

Mechanism of Action

The hydrolyzed oat protein component of Sodium Stearoyl Oat Protein delivers comprehensive skin benefits. It acts as an effective humectant, significantly increasing moisture retention, particularly in low humidity conditions. By forming a protective, tensor film on the skin, it reduces moisture loss, enhances skin firmness, and visibly diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. Its emollient properties contribute to a soft, smooth skin feel, while also providing soothing benefits for sensitive and irritated complexions.
