Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions through a dual mechanism derived from its components. Jojoba oil, a liquid wax ester structurally similar to human sebum, effectively moisturizes the skin, contributes to sebum regulation, and offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits. The sulfur component provides keratolytic (exfoliating), antibacterial, and antifungal actions, making it potentially relevant for managing conditions like acne and seborrheic dermatitis.
