Functions

Emollient

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

Emulsifying

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 silicone copolymer developed for cosmetics in the late 1900s. Designed to improve skin feel and provide conditioning benefits while maintaining a light, non-greasy texture in skincare products.
