Functions
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Viscosity Controlling
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Wound Healing
Fights Acne
Creates protective layer
Provides scent
Traditional Use
Used for over 4,000 years in traditional Egyptian, Indian, and African medicine and cosmetics. The gum has been employed as a natural thickener, binder, and skin-protective agent in traditional beauty preparations and is still used in modern cosmetics.
