DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides sebum-identical emolliency with outstanding oxidative stability and non-comedogenic profile.
Why It's Used: The most sebum-compatible plant oil – its wax ester composition mimics human sebum for superior skin compatibility across all skin types including oily and acne-prone.
How It Works: Liquid wax ester composition (primarily c20:1 and c22:1 wax esters) provides exceptional molecular mimicry of human sebum wax esters. regulates sebum production via negative feedback to sebaceous glands. remarkable oxidative stability from fully unsaturated wax ester structure vs polyunsaturated triglycerides.
