Science & Benefits

This is a specialized polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene ether of glycerin. It functions as a 'light-weighting' humectant, offering the moisture-binding properties of glycerin with a significantly more sophisticated, dry-touch finish. It is zero-comedogenic. It is a logical 'gold standard' for oily-dehydrated skin types, providing the internal water retention needed to stop rebound oil production without leaving a sticky or shiny film on the skin surface.
