Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic derivative created in the late 20th century by chemically modifying baobab seed oil with polyethylene glycol to improve water solubility and emulsification in cosmetic formulations.
