Functions
Skin Conditioning

Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Traditional Use
A modern fermentation-derived ingredient developed in the 20th century as a source of carotenoids (beta-carotene). Created as a biotechnological alternative to extract carotenoids from natural sources for use in cosmetics and supplements.
