Functions

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.

Emollient

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

Locks in moisture

Traditional Use

Apricot kernels have been valued in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda for centuries. The amino acids extracted from them represent a modern application of this ancient ingredient for protein-based skincare benefits.
