POROSITY refers to the ability
of the skin or a material to absorb liquids or other substances.
For example, when creating skincare products
like face masks or moisturizers,
understanding the
porosity of different ingredients
can help in formulating products
that effectively penetrate the scalp and
provide desired benefits.
Porosity can also be relevant when
dealing with materials like
fabrics headwear, and hair shaft,
as it affects how well they can hold and
release liquids or chemicals.
