Science
Mechanism of Action
As an ester, Stearyl Cerotate/Carnaubate works on the skin by forming a protective, lipid-rich layer, thereby providing emollient effects. This action helps to smooth the skin's surface, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve overall skin feel, contributing to a strengthened skin barrier function.
