Activoil™ Echnidium ZRO
Activoil™ Echnidium ZRO is a stabilized, oil-soluble active ingredient specifically designed to protect and repair the skin from environmental and chemical damages. Formulated with three key components: echium seed oil, a rare and rich source of stearidonic acid, combined with a potent antioxidant and Cnidium monnieri extract, this ingredient offers comprehensive protection against stressors like PM2.5, surfactants, and ethanol.\n\nThanks to its unique lipophilic nature, Activoil™ Echnidium ZRO deeply penetrates the skin layers, effectively repairing and reinforcing the skin barrier, while preventing irritation and sensitivity caused by exposure to aggressive chemicals. This advanced active doesn’t just form a physical barrier, it enhances the skin’s physiological defenses, making it more resilient and stronger over time. Activoil™ Echnidium ZRO is the ideal choice for products targeting sensitive skin, functional makeup, and sanitizing solutions (as it helps prevent ethanol-induced dehydration while boosting hydration over time).
