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

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Oral Care
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Used for over 5,000 years in Egyptian, Greek, and Ayurvedic medicine as a healing plant for burns, wounds, and skin irritation. Cleopatra reportedly used aloe as part of her daily skincare regimen.
