SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS
// Evidence: Skin protecting ingredients defend against environmental stressors, irritants, and damage through barrier enhancement, antioxidant activity, anti-pollution effects, or physical barriers. Include dimethicone (barrier), allantoin (soothing protectant), zinc oxide (physical protectant), and film-formers. Mechanisms vary: forming protective films, neutralizing oxidative stress, chelating pollutants, strengthening barrier function. Used in protective creams, barrier treatments, and defensive skincare against urban pollution, extreme weather.
