Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the interfacial tension between immiscible substances, allowing oil and water to form stable mixtures within cosmetic formulations. As a surfactant, it aids in the removal of impurities by enabling water to effectively mix with and rinse away oily dirt. Furthermore, the 'Tetraisostearate' portion imparts emollient characteristics, promoting a soft, cushiony sensation on the skin, contributing to a protective barrier, and enhancing both skin hydration and the overall texture and stability of the product.
