Science

Mechanism of Action

As a silicone, TETRAMETHYL TETRAPHENYL TRISILOXANE exhibits low surface tension, allowing for superior spreading and the formation of a vapor-permeable, protective barrier on the skin's surface. This mechanism contributes to enhanced skin conditioning, promoting softness and a refined texture without a heavy residue.
