Science
Mechanism of Action
This ester primarily acts as an emollient and skin conditioning agent. It works by forming a lightweight, protective film on the skin's surface, which helps to prevent transepidermal water loss and retain moisture. Its unique molecular structure also contributes to a non-greasy, silky sensory profile, significantly improving product spreadability and overall feel.
