Etude credits the sugar polymer with absorbing excess oil that builds up on the skin.
What is sebum?
Sebum is a waxy substance produced by the body’s sebaceous glands that coats, moisturizes and protects the skin.
It is a complex mixture of fatty acids, sugars, waxes and other natural chemicals that form a protective barrier against water evaporation.
Skin oil is a mixture of sebum, sweat, dead skin cells and small dust particles from the air.
