Common Name(s): Rosa rubiginosa seed oil polyglyceryl-6 esters,rosa rubiginosa seed oil polyglyceryl-6 esters,botanical oil,emollient efa source
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides emollient conditioning from sc-compatible fatty acid triglycerides — the oleic, linoleic, and saturated fatty acid profile of rosa rubiginosa determining barrier repair properties and skin feel.
Why It's Used: Rosa rubiginosa seed oil polyglyceryl-6 ester is selected for the distinctive triglyceride fatty acid profile of rosa rubiginosa — the specific oleic, linoleic, and saturated fatty acid ratio determining the spreading speed, occlusion level, and sc barrier integration properties unique to this botanical source.
How It Works: Botanical oil triglycerides: intercellular lipid bilayer integration (oleic c18:1 fluid emolliency; linoleic c18:2 ceramide precursor; sfa structure and occlusion) → sc barrier emolliency.
