🔬 How It Actually Works
A plant-derived synthetic ester. It is a "dry" emollient, meaning it moisturizes the skin but leaves a velvety, completely non-greasy, matte finish.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Moisturizes oily skin types elegantly and improves the texture of heavy sunscreens.
💡 Pro Tip
A perfect alternative to silicones for "clean beauty" brands.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It dries out the skin because of the matte finish.
The Science
It is a true lipid that moisturizes; it simply absorbs so fast it leaves no oily residue.
