Helps retain moisture, reducing transepidermal water loss, making it effective in treating dry, sensitive, or aging skin. Commonly found in moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging products. Supports skin repair and improves resilience against environmental stressors. Also used in hair care products to strengthen the hair cuticle and improve hydration.
