Science

Mechanism of Action

On the skin, TETRADECYLOCTADECANOL acts as an emollient, forming a occlusive layer that minimizes transepidermal water loss, thereby boosting hydration and promoting a softer, more supple skin surface. Within formulations, it modifies viscosity to achieve a desirable product consistency and stability.
